Dear Members of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church,
One of the tasks undertaken by the Vestry in preparation for the calling of the next rector has been a review of the Constitution and By-Laws of the parish. The last amendment to the Constitution and By-Laws was January 19, 1997.
Our thanks to John Baranowski and Jennifer Lawson who served as the committee working with me to review and recommend changes.
The amended Constitution and By-Laws have been reviewed by the office of the Chancellor of the Diocese (legal counsel) to ensure that they are consistent with the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church USA and the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis. The Vestry of St. Christopher’s, in accordance with our current by-laws, has duly considered the revisions and on two separate occasions approved the amended Constitution and By-Laws.
At their August meeting, the Vestry submitted a written request, signed by a majority of members, that I call a Special Meeting of the Parish for the purpose of having the members adopt the amended Constitution and By-Laws.
