Standing Committee Now Accepting Names for Search Committee
October 24, 2019
Dear Friends in Christ,
As I noted in my report at Diocesan Convention, one of the tasks of the Standing Committee with regard to the search for our next bishop is the selection of a Search Committee.
This will be a very important job in our diocesan life, and it will entail a good deal of work. As a member of the Search Committee you will be appointed tasks, must attend meetings, and your role may involve travel to other parishes in the diocese.
Already the Standing Committee is receiving names of those who are either themselves willing to serve or who are being suggested for this committee by others who know them. In the interest of ensuring an open process in which nominations for the Search Committee may be made, we are now open to nominations to the Search Committee. Please note, this is not an election; it is the job of the Standing Committee to appoint members to this committee. In the end, the Search Committee will be made up of 14 or 15 individuals.
Here are the requirements/information we need:
- Name, contact information (email and phone), parish affiliation
- Your calendar must be clear for a training retreat at DeKoven Center in Racine, January 24-25, 2020 (non-negotiable)
- For self-nominations: what gifts or skills would make you a helpful addition to the Search Committee?
- In the case nominating someone else: why are you nominating this person and do you have their permission?
We will close nominations on Tuesday, November 12, at noon.
Nominations may be sent to:
- The Rev. Scott Leannah, President of the Standing Committee, at , or
- The Rev. Andy Jones, Standing Committee member, at
Questions? Please contact Fr. Scott Leannah @ 414-379-0632 or Fr. Andy Jones @ 608-354-9903.
The Rev. Scott Leannah
Standing Committee President
