Our Diocesan Regions
There are five Regions in The Episcopal Church in Colorado that encourage and promote partnerships in local mission initiatives; facilitate the participation of clergy and lay leadership at Diocesan and General Conventions; and strengthen communication between the Regions and the Office of the Bishop.
Upcoming Events
Lunch, refreshments, and all workshop materials are included in the cost of the event.
February is a time in parishes for new vestries to come together to affirm their mission, define priorities for the year ahead, and dream big about the work of the church. New in February 2019, we are offering two-night retreats for vestries from multiple congregations to gather together to learn, share best practices, and form connections with other leadership teams from around the state. Cathedral Ridge provides a distraction-free environment for planning and bonding, and sacred space for hearing God’s call. Conference weekends will include worship, presentations by conference facilitators, time for individual vestries to workshop ideas and develop mission and vision, table fellowship, and time for refreshment and reflection. Registration opens November 1.

In order to be elected, a candidate needed to receive 2/3 votes from both the clergy and the lay delegates, voting separately as orders in the same balloting round. The second ballot was invalid due to a reporting error after the announcement of the first ballot. The other candidate was The Rev.
