Resolved, That the Secretary of the General Convention
prepare and send a memorandum on behalf of the Executive Council to each
domestic diocese, directed to its Deployment Officer or the Chair of its Diocesan
Personnel Committee, to:
(1) Inform them of the
action taken by the 73rd General Convention on D015;
(2) Commend to each diocese and its
congregations the text of this resolution and its attached "Principles and
Recommended Guidelines;"
(3) Extend to any diocese that does not have a
formal personnel policy manual the availability of assistance from the Department
of Human Resources at the Episcopal Church Center to help them create such a
policy manual. This offer of assistance should identify an ECC-HR staff liaison
and contact information; and
(4) Request that the individual receiving the
communication complete and return to the General Convention Office a brief
questionnaire so that Executive Council can fulfill its reporting obligation to
the 74th General Convention.
