Information for Diocesan Secretaries
In an effort to assist Diocesan Secretaries in their canonical roles, particularly regarding reporting, a list of requirements has been prepared, and is available
here
.
As we look ahead to General Convention in 2021, a reminder that Diocesan Secretaries are required to report information on the deputations elected by their diocese. Instructions on reporting are available in English and Spanish
here
.
Additionally, a reminder regarding deputations. If someone changes orders (i.e. is ordained to the diaconate or the priesthood) between election and General Convention, they must resign from the deputation.
In order to serve as a clergy deputy a person must be ordained at the time of election. Thank you.
