___________Announce Change of Date and Location
For Special Electing ConventionDecember 6, 2005 -- The Rt. Rev. John P. Croneberger announced today that the Special Electing Convention date has been changed to Saturday, September 23, 2006, from the originally scheduled date of September 16. The change was made after consultation with the Transition Committee.
"The Transition Committee states that it feels strongly that the Special Diocesan Convention to elect the Tenth Bishop of Newark be held in the City of Newark. As Bishop, I concur. On the date set for the Special Convention, Saturday, September 16, 2006, it is not possible to obtain suitably large accommodations to hold the convention in Newark. Appropriate space is available in Newark on Saturday, September 23. Article II, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the Diocese of Newark grants me the authority to set the date of Special Conventions. It therefore is appropriate that this minor adjustment to the schedule be made."
The special convention will open with the worship service held in Trinity + St. Philip's Cathedral, 608 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. The business session will convene in the Grand Ballroom of the Robert Treat Hotel, 50 Park Place, Newark. The hotel is in very close proximity to the cathedral and located on Military Park. Additional details about the electing convention will be made available at a later time.
A reminder that the deputies elected to represent your congregation to the 132nd Annual Convention held this coming January 2006 are the deputies who will attend the special electing convention.
Bill McColl is Communications Chairman for the Nominating Committee and attends All Saints Church in Leonia
