Congratulations to the new committee and thank you to all who were willing to stand for election.

The Committee will next meet via Zoom to get to know each other, lay out a timetable, and—following Canon 9 section 3—look for 6 additional members to ensure that the Committee is representative of the entire Diocese.

They will then meet as a whole in early December to begin their work.

The Standing Committee continues to seek nominations/recommendations for people to serve on the Transition Committee. Please email me any person you believe would be an asset to the Committee, including yourself.

Please continue to pray for this process as it slowly begins its work.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Ed Zelley
President of Standing Committee
