as appropriate, providing for the implementation of the resolution
if adopted. Each resolution should also be accompanied by
a short explanatory statement by the proponent.
Resolutions may be proposed
by any communicant of any congregation in the diocese, whether
or not a Convention delegate.
Proposals
