"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

To the People of the Diocese of Ohio,

Are you called to go deeper? Nominations are open for a variety of positions in the governance of our diocese. These councils and committees are not only vital to leading the Diocese of Ohio on an executive and financial level, but also in discerning together how the Holy Spirit is guiding us.

Our differences make us stronger. The more we can come together-from a variety of contexts, churches, geographies, ages, and backgrounds-the better we can listen and lead. We are looking for people who are committed to the Diocese of Ohio and The Episcopal Church who are visionary and big thinkers, and who have a passion for working with others in a leadership position.

We trust one another with responsibility. The governance of The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Ohio offers an opportunity to grant more responsibility to members of our community to lead and guide us.

If you are interested in fulfilling one of these important roles, please consider making yourself available by completing a nomination form on the Diocesan website. 

Please also consider extending an invitation to those in your parish and church family to submit their names, keeping in mind those who may not be aware of the nominations process. All members of a parish age 16 or older are eligible to serve.

Let's follow Jesus together. Let's bring people of all contexts together to listen, act, reflect, and lead this diocese in the way of Jesus.

The Rev. Anna Sutterisch
Canon for Christian Formation
