Douglas Hahn was the seventh bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington. He was elected on August 18, 2012, and consecrated on December 15, 2012, in Lexington, Kentucky. He served until March 9, 2016, when he was suspended for one year for lying during the bishop interview process about past adultery with a parishioner. In October of that year, the Standing Committee of the diocese asked that Hahn resign as head of the diocese. In December, Hahn agreed to resign as of the end of his suspension, on March 10, 2017.
On June 1, 2016, the Rt. Rev. Bruce Caldwell began serving as Bishop Provisional. He is the retired Bishop of Wyoming, and will serve in Lexington until a new bishop is called.
Hahn was raised in Georgia but his ancestors include generations of Kentucky teachers and farmers. As a youth, Bishop Hahn often spent summers in a rural Mercer County, Kentucky. He is married to Kaye with whom he has three adult children.
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. An election on that ballot required 61 in the lay order, and 23 in the clergy order.
He was consecrated on December 15, 2012, at Christ Church Cathedral, Lexington, Kentucky. Chief consecrator was Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop. The co-consecrators were: J. 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.
