Accession

Hahn was elected bishop on August 18, 2012, at the diocese's 116th annual convention held at Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington, Kentucky. He was elected on the second ballot out of a field of six nominees. On that ballot he received 67 votes of 120 cast in the lay order and 26 of 44 cast in the clergy order.

Neil Alexander, dean of the School of Theology at the University of the South; Terry White, Bishop of Kentucky; Stacy F. Sauls, Chief Operating Officer of the Episcopal Church and former sixth Bishop of Lexington; Chilton R. Knudsen, retired Bishop of Maine and interim assisting Bishop of Lexington; and William O. Gafkjen, Bishop of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
