Diocesan Bishop Walk-About, March 7, 2008

In an effort to allow people throughout the Diocese to meet the nominees for the next Diocesan Bishop, four sites have been selected for meet-and-greet sessions commonly known as Walk-Abouts. The format is small-group question-and-answer sessions. To submit questions to be asked of the nominees, write to marylandbishop@verizon.net or to Bishop Walk-About Questions, 4 E. University Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21218. Or give them to the moderators at the Walk-About.

Voting delegates from St. James’ to the Electing Convention are: Bill Ticknor, Bob McCoy, Marjie Mack and Charlie Wolf. Members are encouraged to inform the delegates about their preferences. We will be distributing feedback questionnaires to our members.
