On Wednesday, May 19, the clergy and lay leaders of our diocese met for their monthly meeting. In response to the updated mask guidance from the CDC, we spent time discussing updates to the diocesan policy regarding in-person worship. Several resources, which are shared below, were reviewed. Clergy and Senior Wardens were encouraged to share the materials with their respective vestry and to come to a decision on what is the best course of action for their individual faith community.
