Diocesan Liturgical Commissions

"Resolved, That bishops engage worshiping communities in experimentation and the creation of alternative texts to offer to the wider church, and that each diocese be urged to create a liturgical commission to collect, reflect, teach and share these resources with the TFLPBR." - General Convention Resolution 2018-A068.6.

Our Task Force is in the process of contacting every diocese to determine whether or not a Liturgical Commission has been set up and is actively fulfilling its mandate according to Resolution 20180-A068. If your diocese is listed incorrectly, please contact us here.
