Committees and Appointments of the Diocese
One of the most important moments of each Diocesan Convention is the election of individuals to the various bodies that manage and conduct the business and ministries of the Diocese. Except for the Trial Court, all our committees include lay as well as clergy members.
- The Standing Committee handles matters of the clergy and
ecclesiastical authority.
- The Trustees of the Diocese provide financial, custodial, trust,
and investment services for the
diocese.
- The Constitution and Canons
Committee deals with all matters
relating to the constitution and
canons of the diocese.
- The Trial Court deals with the
adjudication of ecclesiastical matters.
- The Diocesan Council is
responsible for program and
budget for the work and mission
of the diocese.
- General Convention Deputies represent the diocese at the
Episcopal Church’s triennial conventions. Four
clergy deputies and four clergy
alternates; as well as four lay deputies
and four lay alternates, are elected to represent the diocese.
- The Nominating Committee is charged with putting forth a slate of candidates to fill the offices.
