Resolution EC18to22EC 009

Resolved, That the Executive Council gratefully acknowledges the excellence, wisdom, good humor, patience, and generosity shown by Marian Conboy throughout her seventeen years of ministry and service for The Episcopal Church; gives thanks for her particular contributions to the work of the Executive Council and the General Convention; and, while admitting that we will miss her regular presence among us, wishes her every blessing and much happiness in her retirement.

After more than 17 years of faithful service to The Episcopal Church, Marian Conboy will retire at the end of 2020. This resolution is adopted in deep gratitude for her presence and work for The Episcopal Church, and, in particular, for the Executive Council and the General Convention.  Marian’s virtues are manifold; because one of them is humility, she has always preferred that the spotlight be not on her, but on others. So, while we honor her humility with our brevity, we must nonetheless state that it is not possible to express fully our admiration and appreciation. Hundreds of people throughout The Episcopal Church, across the Anglican Communion, among our partners in other traditions,  and many others have been blessed because of who she is and how she embodies God’s love in the world. Thank you, Marian.
