Registration Will Open in Early October

Clergy and deputies must register in advance and attend in person in order to participate and vote. Observers are welcome. 


Do I Get a Vote?

Seat, Voice, and Vote are granted to: 

  • clergy who have been canonically resident in the Diocese for more than 30 days
  • lay deputies sent by one of our congregations
  • the chancellor of the Diocese

Seat and Voice (no vote) are granted to any individual who does not qualify under one of the categories above, but serves as a:

  • member of one of our governing bodies: Standing Committee, Diocesan Council, or Board of Trustees
  • member of the Committee on Canons

All other interested parties are invited to attend as observers (seat only, without voice or vote). 

Alternate lay deputies will only be allowed to vote at Convention if diocesan staff is notified of the replacement of a lay deputy by the rector or church administrator (preferably in advance, but if necessary, during check in on Convention day).
