Bishop, Trustees & Council
Bishop, Trustees & Council (BT&C) is the governing board for the Diocese, which is empowered to act on behalf of the Diocesan Convention while the Convention is not in session (the other 363 days of the year). BT&C and its various officers, agents, departments, commissions, and committees are governed by the By-Laws of Trustees & Council.
It has the responsibility of carrying out the program of the Church as adopted by the Diocesan Convention, and in general, may exercise the full power and authority of the Diocese between the sessions of the Diocesan Convention. The Council is ultimately responsible for presenting a budget to Convention (with the assistance of the Finance Committee) and for the spending of monies.
