Joe Morris Doss

Joe Morris Doss (born March 29, 1943) served as the 10th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey from 1995 to 2001.

Doss was born in Mobile, Alabama and graduated from Louisiana State University and General Theological Seminary; he also holds a J.D.

[2] Doss announced his resignation on March 12, 1999, with effect coming in place on September 30, 2001,[3] after a tenure in which that diocese was led into the mainstream of the Episcopal Church, though not without conflict and controversy - much of which was aimed at Doss in personal accusations, none of which produced any evidence of wrongdoing.

He has since written five books, in particular Let the Bastards Go: From Cuba to Freedom on "God's Mercy" and The Songs of the Mothers: Promises for the Future Church.

[4] He holds a Juris Doctor degree from Louisiana State University.
