The next ECC Synod is a month away! It will be held in Orange County California from October 22 - 25. 

The leadership of the House of Laity (HOL) is asking for input from all the members of the Communion on proposed legislation. They have drafted a Straw Poll to gather that input. The responses to the Straw Poll from members of Sts. Clare & Francis will guide our HOL delegates as they discuss the proposals with delegates from the other parishes in the Communion. The Straw Poll can be found by clicking here. 

Please e-mail your responses to the Straw Poll to Michelle Smith, at attorneypastor@gmail.com, by 11:59 pm on Friday, September 28. We apologize for the short response time, but we need to combine your responses and send them to the HOL leadership by October 1.

If you are interested in a summary of the proposals for the Synod, they are summarized in a memo from George von Stamwitz, Chancellor of the Communion.  The proposals can be found by clicking here.   

Thank you for your participation!
