Anderson urges 'new way' for deputies
House of Deputies president issues statement on Council of Advice meeting
[ENS] -- In a statement issued by House of Deputies President Bonnie Anderson at the conclusion of the first meeting of her Council of Advice October 17, she urged the House of Deputies to "begin to see itself in a new way."
"Some may perceive their role as deputy to be finished once the gavel goes down at the close of General Convention," she said. "In fact, deputies have responsibilities which extend beyond that time."
The complete text of Anderson's statement is available at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_78818_ENG_HTM.htm
