Constitutions & Canons

          

A note from our Chancellor: 

As you may remember, Diocesan Convention in 2008 charged the Canons Committee with reviewing and rewriting the Diocesan Canons.   Perhaps not unexpectedly, this has turned out to be a bigger job than originally envisioned.    The committee has begun this work and is approximately half of the way through the canons.  Unfortunately,  we will not meet the original target of a report to Convention this year.  We believe we will be able to present an entire revision of the canons well before Convention in 2011.  This should give interested parties time to review the document and make comments to the committee before voting on the revisions at Diocesan Convention in 2011.  In the mean time, if you have any comments or suggestions for the committee please contact Bill Fleener, Jr. or Bill Spaid.  

Bill Fleener, Jr. Diocesan Chancellor
