The House of Deputies Committee on Privilege and Courtesy presented its Report #20 on Resolution D096 (Thanks for Ministry with Young People Cluster Programs) and moved adoption.

Original Text of Resolution:

(D096)

Whereas, the 74th General Convention has adopted as its top priority ministries with children, youth, and young adults; and

Whereas, the Ministries with Young People Cluster trained and supported those young people who constitute the ongoing Official Youth Presence at this General Convention; and

Whereas, the Diocese of Minnesota, in partnership with the Office of Children's Ministries and Christian Education, has provided creative, engaging, and inclusive activities in special programs for children and youth at this Convention; and

Whereas, in offering these programs for the first time in any General Convention, the persons involved have intentionally lived out the 72nd and 73rd General Conventions' resolutions on the Children's Charter and demonstrated the 74th General Convention's commitment to the young people of this Church; now therefore be it

Resolved, That the 74th General Convention of The Episcopal Church give thanks to Almighty God for the presence and participation of children, youth, and young adults in the work and worship of this convention; and be it further

Resolved, That the General Convention commend the energy, effort, and vision of the planners, trainers, and leaders, and affirm the innovative partnership of diocesan, provincial, and National Church as a model for future General Conventions.
