On January 19, 2021, the following individuals were appointed by Council to serve as the Vision Construction Team for the Presbytery of Denver:
RATIONALE
We were tasked with assembling a team slate which reflected the Presbytery of Denver as a whole, but within guidelines of prior participation in the visioning process and diversity in many categories. We believe that we have captured broad representation of gender, ordination status, geographical/congregational context, racial/ethnic identity, age, and tenure of experience in the work of the Presbytery of Denver. We also believe these nominees embody the qualities we set out to find as described in the position description for the Vision Construction Team.
With the many different issues and interests in the Presbytery, we have tried to pull together people who give voice to these and who listen well. Most have participated in supporting the Presbytery’s Matthew 25 Initiative and all understand the significance of this visioning work and its importance to the Presbytery, to our congregations and to the larger church.
We have prayed for each nominee and for the team as a whole, and we believe these individuals to be right for us at this time and in this Presbytery. We are pleased that each has said “yes” to the call to this work.
We thank Dr. Corey Schlosser-Hall and Rev. Olivia Hudson Smith for their wisdom and support in our deliberations.
Respectfully submitted,
