Diocesan Convention
The Diocesan Convention is made up of active clergy canonically resident in the Diocese and lay delegates elected by the congregations. The Diocesan Convention meets annually (or more often in special circumstances) to:
- Approve the program budget
- Hear reports on the activities of the diocese
- Vote on resolutions that set the tone and direction of the Diocese
- Elect at-large members of the Standing Committee, Diocesan Council, Disciplinary Board, and Cathedral Chapter; and every three years, elect lay and clergy deputies to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church
- Elect a bishop when necessary

Here is a collection of passed resolutions, as amended, from the minutes of diocesan convention. The adopted resolutions are released by the Secretary of Convention in their official minutes of convention, and are posted online after receipt.
