From ENS-The Episcopal Church’s Executive Council began its Oct. 15-17 meeting here facing an agenda that ranged from specific line-item adjustments to the current budget and the structure of the next triennium’s budget to large conceptual issues about the future shape of the Episcopal Church.
The members also are facing a discussion about the recent resignations of four members of the United Thank Offering’s board. The resignation came over what has become for some a controversial effort to draft a memorandum of understanding between the UTO and the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, and new bylaws for the historic organization which Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said last month were meant to bring the operating procedures “into compliance with both federal law and with DFMS policies.”
The presiding bishop and Steve Hutchinson, chair of the council’s Joint Standing Committee on Governance and Administration for Mission (GAM), briefly addressed the UTO situation during the meeting’s opening session.
