Clergy Request to Officiate

Thank you for contacting the Office of Bishop Robert C. Wright about your request to officiate in The Diocese of Atlanta.


Note: This form is used to obtain permission to officiate a baptism, funeral, or wedding in the Diocese of Atlanta.


You must obtain a Letter of Good Standing from your canonical bishop to receive approval to officiate. For a wedding, if either party has been married, you must submit a copy of the remarriage petition form signed by the approving bishop or include your bishop's permission to officiate at this ceremony in the letter of good standing.


Upload all documents at the bottom of this form to complete the submission for your request. Email any questions to bishopsassistant@episcopalatlanta.org. Thank you.

Reason for Request to Officiate*

(For example, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Memphis, TN; Hilton Hotel, Lexington, KY; beachfront home, Los Angeles, CA)

Did you need a Remarriage Petition approved?*

(Note: Bishop Wright does not approve Remarriage Petitions outside of the Diocese of Atlanta.) If you answered 'Yes', you will need to submit a copy of the remarriage petition form signed by the approving bishop or a letter with your bishop's permission to officiate at this ceremony.

(Please provide the parish's complete address.)
