Blue Ribbon Task Force on Ministry Shares Report of Listening Sessions

The Bishop’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Ministry Shares met on Wednesday, January 14 at the First Endicott UMC to review comments gathered at district Listening Sessions held just before Christmas.  Task Force members conducted this series of gatherings of clergy and laity to hear from the constituency of the conference as it pursues its assignment to understand and respond to the declining support for Ministry Shares.

  The Task Force has summarized the comments and its commentary on them.  This initial report will likely be an addendum to the final report which will be presented at the 2009 session of the annual conference in Scranton.    Click here to read the initial summary report.   The Task Force would welcome your comments, reflections and feed-back.  Click here to send a response.
