Resolved, the House of _______ concurring, That the 76th General Convention of The Episcopal Church directs

Executive Council to require the official bodies of The Episcopal Church to agree on appropriate mechanisms and formats to share the data they have collected between themselves and report back to the Standing Commission on Episcopal Church Communications by the end of the coming Triennium.

EXPLANATION

At present there is no complete list of Episcopal clergy or lay leadership and no complete list of contact information. The Pension Group has one set of data, the Church Center has another, and dioceses have various additions. This Resolution, if enacted, would call upon the bodies, which are charged with gathering and administrative oversight of data important to the work of The Episcopal Church, to work to share the data (as allowed by law and as appropriately needed.)
