The 75th General Convention created a special Task Force in adopting Resolution A048 (2206) to investigate and recommend the acquisition of appropriate technology purchases by The Episcopal Church Center. The present Task Force was not nominated in sufficient time to be able to complete its charge by the Presiding Bishop and the President of the House of Deputies.
