The Diocese of Milwaukee's convention, chaired by the Rt. Rev. Roger White, met Oct. 10 at Archbishop Cousins Center in St. Francis, Wis. Business included the election of diocesan representatives and a resolution to increase minimum clergy salary. The chief item of discussion was the budget based upon a revised askings formula. The budget, totaling $1,518,642, passed. The Rev. Canon Gordon Okunsanya and Carl Eschweiler were installed as canons of the diocese, Canon Okunsanya as deputy for congregational development and pastoral care, Mr. Eschweiler as deputy for finance and administration. The Diocese of Milwaukee has a newly established companion relationship with the Diocese of Egypt, and its bishop, the Most Rev. Ghais Malik, preached at the convention Eucharist. |
