Committee on Rural Ministry

Dorothy, on behalf of Region 12, asked the Board of Directors to consider establishing an NCCL Rural Ministry Committee. The Council engaged in a lively discussion about the proposal before turning the question over to the Board of Directors. One task of the committee would be to identify the many experiences of rural. Rural in one diocese may not describe the same experience as rural in another diocese. While no formal advice (no vote was taken) was given by the Rep Council to the Board it was clear to this participant that the Council favored establishing a rural ministry committee. We hope the Board will act quickly and establish the committee. Most members of the Council that I talked to recommended Sr Dorothy as chair.
