Konieczny{{efn|The surname is pronounced con YETCH nee.[1]}} is the fifth and current bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, United States. After studies at Church Divinity School of the Pacific, he was ordained to the diaconate and priesthood in 1994. He was elected bishop on May 5, 2007, and consecrated as such September 15, 2007. He is often called "Bishop Ed."[1] Early lifeBishop Ed was born December 20, 1954 at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington. In 1955, the family, including Ed and his two siblings, older sister Helene and younger brother William, moved to Anaheim, California.[1] Law enforcement careerAfter graduating from high school, Konieczny continued his education in a community college on a part-time schedule, while he began a career in law enforcement. He earned an AA certificate in Administration of Justice and a BA degree in Criminal Justice.[1] He served as an officer with the police departments of Anaheim and Garden Grove, California from 1975 until 1992, earning several commendations including two Meritorious Service Commendations. His assignments included Uniformed Patrol, Child Abuse/Sexual Assault and Vice (narcotics).[1] {{efn|His work on vice included spending seven years undercover.[1]}} He was twice named Instructor of the Year by the California District Attorney's Association.[1] Religious careerAfter 17 years in police work, Konieczny's career turned toward religion. He enrolled in the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree, and was ordained as a priest and a deacon in the Episcopal Church in 1994. He continued his religious education at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he earned a Doctor of Ministry in Church Growth and Development.[1] Later in his church career, both schools have awarded him a Doctor of Divinity degree, honoris cause.[1] Election as bishopOn May 5, 2007, Rev. Dr. Konieczny, then serving as rector of St. Matthews Episcopal Church in Grand Junction, Colorado, was elected as the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma.|The Diocese of Oklahoma covers the entire state {{convert|70000|mi2|km2}}, 69 congregations, three Diocesan Schools, two Retirement/Assisted Living Homes, a Camp and Conference Center and multiple other institutions and ministries.[1] {{efn|Prior to his posting in Grand Junction, he had served several congregations in the Diocese of Texas.[1]}} The election was held in the St. Paul's Cathedral at Oklahoma City. Out of six candidates, he received the most lay votes and the most clergy votes on the first ballot. His predecessor as Bishop of Oklahoma was Robert Moody, who had been elected in 1987, and had served since 1989.[2] Activities as bishopIn addition to the normal duties as bishop of a diocese, he has played an important and highly visible role in the national church, such as: member of Bishops United Against Gun Violence, member of Executive Council of The Episcopal Church, member of Executive Committee of Executive Council of The Episcopal Church, member of the Presiding Bishop’s Council of Advice, member of the Presiding Bishop Transition and Installation Committee, Co-Chair of the Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop, and Key Note Speaker at the Reclaiming the Gospel of Peace Conference.[1] Bishop Konieczny, along with 16 other religious leaders representing the Oklahoma Council of Churches, issued a public document,"Theological Statement in Opposition to the Death Penalty."[3] The document refutes political arguments that the Bible supports (or even commands) the death penalty, and publicly calls for the Government of Oklahoma to abolish the death penalty in the state. PersonalEd Konieczny and his wife Debbie married in 1978. They have two sons, one daughter-in-law and five grandchildren. In his spare time, Bishop Ed enjoys travel, golf and cooking.
