In his address to convention, Bishop Provenzano, called on clergy and lay leaders to meet during this coming Advent to discuss how they might initiate resource sharing and deanery-wide programs to meet needs together. He offered several questions to begin the conversation:
- What can be done better together than apart?
- What is the need both within the congregation and the community which cannot be met by a single congregation?
- What can be strengthened or initiated more fully by cooperation?
- What is the witness of the Episcopal Diocese in a certain geographic area? Or what do we need to accomplish together?
- Which clergy and lay leaders are better suited to provide leadership in certain areas?
