Committees of the Convention: Chairs and Conveners

Every diocesan commission, committee, council, or board meeting (with only a few exceptions*) is open to any member of the Diocese of New Jersey. There is only one difference between a visitor at a committee meeting and a member: Visitors aren't allowed to participate in discussion, unless given permission or invited to do so by the committee.

You can find dates and times for meetings of committees on the diocesan calendar.

If the name of a committee, council, or board in the roster below is underlined or in color, click it to go to an additional page that gives further details about that committee. There will often be a list of committee members, minutes, or summaries of meetings, but the practice isn't consistent across committees.

Where there is no title next to a name, the title should be understood as being 'chair'. For a full list of officers and members of all committees, commissions, and boards, you can download the latest Convention Journal (2008, about 3.5MB) in PDF.

*The exceptions are the Commission on Ministry, Committee on the Priesthood, and Committee on the Diaconate (because they often deal with personal and private matters) and the Standing Committee (because it deals with confidential legal matters).
