General Convention Resolutions

It is a requirement of Canon I.1.1.e of the Episcopal Church that the General Convention Office notify the dioceses when any alterations to the Book of Common Prayer or the Constitution are proposed. Dioceses are then required to make these proposed changes known to its constituents, and report back to the General Convention office that this action has been taken.

Three resolutions were approved by the 80th General Convention that require reporting. The text of Resolutions A031, A059 and A157 can be found on the convention website under the “Documents” tab.

• Read the resolutions before convention

• At convention, when polled as to whether you have read the resolutions, answer YES
