Share Trialogue Task Force Interest

Posted 1/14/2022

 
Wisconsin Episcopal Dioceses MapWisconsin Episcopal Dioceses
Here is one opportunity to participate in the trialogue, pursuing reunion as one Episcopal diocese in Wisconsin. The dioceses of Fond du Lac, Eau Claire and Milwaukee are exploring how reunification into one diocese can better equip us to be the church God is calling us to be in these times. A Steering Committee of representatives from each diocese is taking action to build connections and relationships exploring reunification. A first formal step is to form task forces to examine the possibilities.

Informal input began last Summer. Delegates to the diocesan convention last October participated in small discussion groups which generated great comments and questions about moving forward (read these here). Similar processes took place in the dioceses of Eau Claire and Milwaukee. An initial trialogue group, appointed by each diocesan governing board, reviewed this feedback and discovered a general desire to move towards a combined diocese. The potential to equip churches to be better in sharing the Gospel with one diocese was noted, but lack of clarity about how to do this was noted as well. A Steering Committee then developed a task force structure to begin work to address the questions related to reunification.

TASK FORCES
Task forces are being formed to examine various components of reunification including: Prayer; Parish and Regional Engagement; Culture and Mission; Location, Place, and Staffing; Finances; Constitution and Canons; and Communication. These will establish ways to involve more voices as ideas and proposals are developed (in-person or through technological means).

Those in the Diocese of Fond du Lac are invited to express their interest in serving on a task force. A description of each task force is provided on the interest page. After you share your interest, you can expect to be contacted to be involved by the end of February 2022.

SHARE YOUR TASK FORCE INTEREST
TRIALOGUE HUB
With over 12,000 diocesan members involved and others who may participate, an interactive "hub" is being developed online to be a centralized source of information as the trialogue progresses. It will provide core data about each diocese and the opportunity to to interact with others. It will provide information, answers to frequently asked questions, and how to ask questions to be answered by a task force. There will be opportunity to share thoughts and ideas publicly as well as with task forces. The Trialogue Hub is expected to launch sometime in February 2022.
