Deputies to the 143rd Convention will be voting to fill 20 openings in diocesan governing bodies including the Array, the Standing Committee, the Board of Trustees, Diocesan Council, the Committee on Canons, Cathedral Chapter and the Growth Fund.

The "Conventions" portion of the diocesan website now has details on the positions open for election this year and the required nomination forms. Please note that the deadline for nomination submissions is July 1, to accommodate the listing of nominees in the August edition of Trinity magazine. The website also provides the text of resolutions being forwarded for voting. These resolutions, though deemed in proper form by the Diocesan Council, do not take effect unless passed at Convention.

"These are challenging times for all of us who share the responsibility of diocesan leadership. I am thankful to all of those who prayerfully discern a call to step forward in service," said Bishop Robert Duncan.
