Non-Parochial Reports
The Canons of The Episcopal Church require that all canonically resident clergy not included in the diocese’s parochial reports make an annual report to the Bishop on the exercise of their ministry. These reports shall be recorded in the Journal of the Convention. In this diocese, we merely record in the Journal the names of those who submitted their reports. Learn more
