Bishop Cederholm Bishop Cederholm was consecrated a bishop in 2001, and as senior bishop suffragan (assisting bishop), he serves alongside the diocesan bishop M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE, and Bishop Suffragan Gayle E. Harris, with oversight for diocesan congregational development, including clergy and congregation transition ministry and Safe Church policy.

A gifted teacher and preacher, Bishop Cederholm is an active voice and witness for environmental stewardship.

He provides leadership for a sustained diocesan commitment to relief and development work in the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina in 2005.  His participation in numerous mission work trips to Mississippi and Louisiana have inspired parish and student groups to similar service.

A native of Brockton, Mass., he was ordained to the priesthood in 1972 in Massachusetts. Before his consecration, Bishop Cederholm served for more than 10 years as rector at Christ Church in Needham.  He and his wife, Ruth Ann, have two sons and five grandchildren.
