Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
It is my sad duty to inform you of the death of our Assisting Bishop, the Right Reverend Daniel S. A. Allotey.
Bishop Allotey has been a beloved presence in our diocese for nearly a decade, offering leadership, support, mentorship, and pastoral care to countless clergy and many of our congregations.
His joyful proclamation of the gospel, his delight in serving God’s people, and his clear articulation of Anglican theology have been tremendous gifts to our diocese. In every setting, his bright smile, infectious laughter, and genuine love embraced all who encountered him.
He died at Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn at approximately 11:30 p.m. last night, entering into the larger life of the resurrected Christ whom he loved and served so faithfully. I already miss him deeply and will continue to feel his absence in our diocesan gatherings and liturgies. Most of all, I will miss my friend and colleague.
Funeral arrangements are pending consultation with his family both here and in Ghana. We will share further details as soon as they are available.

Rest eternal grant to him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the departed, rest in peace. Amen.
