These gatherings are not campaign events.
They are holy conversations.

​

They are spaces where clergy and laity, long-time Episcopalians and those newly joined to our communities, can come together to:

​

• Hear from each nominee about their faith journey and call to leadership

• Reflect on the needs and hopes of the Diocese of Long Island

• Participate in moderated question-and-response dialogue

• Join in prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit

 

Your Presence Matters

Every parish, every deanery, every ministry. Your prayers matter. Your listening matters. Your voice matters. Come curious. Come prayerful. Come ready to imagine the future God is preparing for us. We look forward to gathering with you.

​

In hope and expectation, 

​

The Transition Committee
Episcopal Diocese of Long Island
