The Convention endorsed establishing a task force on parish and diocesan mission, which would report to the Convention. It would be widely representative of the Diocese, appointed by the Bishop, and foster diocesan and parish development in structure and program for mission. The Convention encouraged the Bishop to convene youth and adult leaders of the Diocese in a dialogue that develops ministry among and for youth. The resolution will also ask the Executive Council to provide resources to support those efforts. Our church is named for it.
Priests are wary of it.
Lutherans can't agree on it. Bishops exercise it. Standing Committees counterbalance it. Almy makes clothes for it. Clergy speculate about it.
