Appointments to Ecumenical Committee
Resolution text
Resolved, That in accordance with Canon I.4.3(k), the Chair and Vice Chair nominate and Executive Council elects the following person as a member of the Presbyterian Episcopal Dialogue Committee for a term ending December 31, 2021:
Presbyterian Episcopal Dialogue Committee
The Rev. George Sherrill, Jr.
Diocese of Southern Ohio
First term
Explanation
This appointment is a substitute for a member who was unable to accept the appointment when the Ecumenical Dialogue Committees were populated in November, 2018
The third round of dialogue between The Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will develop and publish mission and polity guidelines and resources for joint Episcopal and Presbyterian ministries and missions. It will identify how dioceses and presbyteries may collaborate in creating new worshipping communities and ecumenical congregations. It will also look at these questions:
1. What does membership mean amid the shifting American religious context?
2. What can lead to full reconciliation of ordered ministries, including the implications to our global ecumenical relationships?
