Registration opens  in August 2018

Pray

Include convention in your prayers. A prayer for the diocese is on page 817, Book of Common Prayer. A prayer for the convention is on page 818. A prayer for our Companion Diocese is found here.

​Congregations are asked to include delegates' names in Prayers of the People in October and publicly commission them the Sunday before convention.

​The primary purpose of convention is to elect committee and commission members. It may also provide direction to those serving on committees and commissions, as well as the diocese and its congregations. This can be accomplished by adopting a resolution that includes a call to action or by changing the Diocesan Constitution or Canons.

Convention in Fond du Lac

The 144th Convention of the Diocese of Fond du Lac will be held October 19-20 in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Additional details available Spring 2018.

Delegates

​Lay delegates are elected as congregational representatives. Clergy delegates are Canonically Resident (meaning ordained and under the authority of the Bishop) and includes priests, deacons, bishops in active ministry as well as those who are retired. This may include some who live outside the geographic boundaries of the diocese.

Delegates link the congregation and diocese so should engage church members in discussion about convention. Offer a forum during coffee hour prior to convention and afterwards. Make a written report to your Vestry. Ask for prayers.
