Baltimore
In the day?s first important vote, the U.S. bishops this morning elected Bishop George Murry of Youngstown, Ohio, as the secretary of the conference. He is the first African-American bishop to hold a senior leadership post since Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, then the bishop of Belleville, Illinois, served as president from 2001 to 2004.
