As members of the Episcopal Church, we all share in its leadership and oversight, often by serving on parish and diocesan teams and committees. Our church and our witness to the world are stronger when we are led by diverse and energetic folks from across our community. To elect diverse leadership teams we must first nominate diverse slates of candidates! It is important that we nominate faithful people from across the central third of California counties, of varying age, race and ethnicity, economic circumstance, gender identity and sexual orientations, and from parishes small and large, to represent us on these committees.
