Our Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is comprised of twelve members
of the House of Delegates who are elected to lead our
congregations in a Godly community of mutual support
and cooperation. The Executive Committee is the
executive arm of our House of Delegates; it acts under
authority delegated to it by the House of Delegates
and is accountable to the House of Delegates for its
management of the affairs of the Association.
The Executive Committee meets approximately monthly,
though its Chairman and many others are actively
managing the Association's affairs between meetings.
As with the House of Delegates itself, membership on
the Executive Committee -- six clergy persons and six
laity -- reflects the canonical and geographic
diversity of our member congregations. The work of
the Executive Committee is:
-
To create the organizational structure of an
orthodox Anglican body, beginning in California and
Arizona;
-
To identify and form needed committees and task
groups, delegate their tasks, and manage their
progress;
-
To communicate with our archbishops and bishops,
and with our constituency; and
-
To foster unity among Western Anglicans.
Unity is fostered person-to-person, when people come
together to work together and minister together.
Therefore, our standing committees and ad hoc task
groups reflect the canonical and geographic diversity
of Western Anglicans, too. Excepting certain clergy
matters, none of the members of the Executive
Committee serve on any of our committees or task
groups, since the work of the Executive Committee is
to envision and to manage our overall progress.
The Executive Committee appoints the chairpersons and
the individual members of our various standing
committees and ad hoc task groups, insuring thereby
that ownership among our member congregations is
spread both canonically and geographically.
The members of the Executive Committee are the
directors of our corporation, The Association of
Western Anglican Congregations, a California religious
nonprofit corporation. They elect its officers. The
Chairman of the Executive Committee serves as
president of the corporation.
