Province VIII Synod - July 3, 2012, Indianapolis
Each triennium, the leadership of Province VIII gathers to share the ministries of the province and conduct business. In our time of limited resources, it is practical and best for our next triennial gathering to occur just before and at the site of our 2012 General Convention. At 7:30 pm, Tuesday, July 3, in Indianapolis, we will join together as the Synod for a light reception, followed by a presentation on provincial ministries - our accomplishments and challenges - and to conduct our business for the next triennium.
Orientation to General Convention, Saturday, May 19, 2012 ONLINE
Each triennium, the Province holds a Synod to conduct business and an orientation to General Convention, normally led by the President of the House of Deputies and the Office of GC. Due to practical issues and limited resources, our leadership has decided to hold the
The Orientation to General Convention will be offered online and with download locations in several sites.
We are in the early planning stages. What we envision is an event in four or more places (LA, San Francisco, Phoenix and Salt Lake City) where deputations in each region may gather to spend the day in orientation to General Convention. There would be presentations through online video by Bonnie Anderson and Gregory Straub, PB & F; and also an opportunity for local caucuses on issues at each site.
Deputation chair persons’ leadership will be needed in each site to help coordinate this program. We have enlisted the help of technical coordination through Sean McConnell in San Francisco. He is at work organizing the technical needs for each location of this event.
When we have determined the best locations around the province, we will be in touch with the local deputation chairs to continue the work of organizing this event. For now, please mark your calendars and save May 19th for General Convention 2012 orientation.
