Deck Chairs

Hi, this is clergy deputy Susan Snook, and on my personal blog, I am starting a new series of posts about my thoughts on “restructuring” the church for mission.  The first post is called “Deck Chairs,”  (click title for link).  Later posts, coming over the next 3-4 days, will contain specific proposals.

You may also be interested in my previous posts regarding the budget and restructuring issues.  They are here:

Hello Diocese of Arizona!

This site is to be used by the General Convention Deputation from the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona to post news reports from General Convention, share information prior, during and after convention with people from the Diocese of Arizona and to encourage conversation.

Right now the deputation is waiting for the release of the “Blue Book”, the official summary of reports and resolutions to be presented to General Convention in Indianapolis this July. The unofficial word is that the Blue Book is going to be available as a PDF and/or e-book for download on Monday April 23rd. You’ll be able to purchase a printed copy if you would like to have one.

Once the reports are out, we’ll probably be posting our reactions to the material here. And if you want to share your thoughts, this would be the place to do that as well.

So, stay tuned. More to come.
