The recently reconstituted Nominating Committee is seeking to fulfill the mission strategy charge to “broaden the diversity of leadership for all diocesan project teams and governing bodies.” The committee notes: “Our experience has been that there is so much untapped talent, particularly of our lay siblings, that we can bring to bear on the challenges and opportunities facing us as a diocese. So, we want to do our part to change that. The responses to this brief form will be a living repository of the amazing breadth of the deep faith, acquired skills, lived experiences, and hard-earned wisdom of lay Episcopalians in eastern Massachusetts. If you are layperson, you can complete it right now. If you are a priest or deacon, please share it with your congregations and ministries. Please pass the link around widely so that as many people as possible know their voice is needed and welcomed in the shared governance of our church.” The direct link to the form, for sharing widely, is: https://edom.formstack.com/forms/diomass_recruitment By gathering a wide pool of leaders, the committee seeks to more easily serve as a matchmaker for positions that are open for election by Diocesan Convention or appointment by the bishops. Completing the form is not a commitment to a particular role. Priests or deacons canonically resident in the diocese are invited to contact any member of the Nominating Committee, Diocesan Council or Standing Committee with questions about how to participate in shared governance.
