Resolutions Per Diocesan Canon II, Section 4.b., a Resolutions Committee was appointed by Diocesan Council. The Resolutions Committee is charged with ensuring that proposed resolutions coming before the Convention comply with the requirements of the Constitutions and Canons of the Episcopal Church and this Diocese, are not redundant, and are stated in clear and consistent language. There were no resolutions received by the committee prior to the canonical 60-day deadline. DIOCESE OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
