The Diocese of New Jersey Committee on Resolutions invites submission of proposed resolutions for consideration at next March's Diocesan Convention. The Committee asks that proposals be submitted electronically or on white 8-1/2 x 11 paper, typed and double-spaced, and contain at least two sections: the RESOLVED paragraph naming the desired action, and a FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph, as appropriate, providing for the implementation of the resolution if adopted. No "whereas" or other prefatory language can be used, so the proposals should begin with "Be it RESOLVED, That . . . ." Each resolution should be accompanied by a short explanatory statement by the proponent(s).

Resolutions may be proposed by any communicant of any congregation in the diocese, whether or not a Convention delegate, or by any member of the clergy serving or residing in the diocese, whether or not eligible to vote at Convention. We appreciate it if the proponents' identifying parish affiliations are included.

Proposals should be forwarded to the Chair of the Committee
