1/4/2017

0 Comments

 
At the Annual Meeting (Sunday, January 29, 2017), we will elect five delegates (and alternates) to attend the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii's Annual Convention October 20 and 21, 2017, at 'Iolani School, Honolulu. Candidates and/or a person nominating a candidate are required to complete and submit a Nomination Form. 

​Nomination forms must be submitted no later than Tuesday, January 24 at 8:00PM. The Epistle will publish the Nomination Packet in January 27th issue and the nomination packet will be made available on the day of the Annual Parish Meeting.

The Diocesan Convention is the primary representative governing body of the diocese. It convenes annually in October to conduct diocesan business, including election of various leadership bodies; approval of a budget for the upcoming year; setting mission strategy; and establishing diocesan policy and procedure by considering and voting on resolutions and approving changes to the diocesan constitution and canons. It is also an occasion for communication and teaching from the Bishop. The Convention allows delegates to connect with other Church leaders, share ministry ideas, and to gather for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist together as a diocesan community.
