Diocesan Convention is the ultimate organizational decision-making body of the Diocese of Michigan. It is comprised of clergy and lay members who come together for two days in October to decide the Diocesan budget (based on recommendations from the Budget and Finance Committee of the Diocesan Council, elects members of the diocese’s various administrative, executive and judicial bodies and votes on any resolutions—including those that amend or add to the Constitution or Canons—that may be brought before it.

When necessary, this is the body that elects a Bishop, a Bishop Coadjutor or a Bishop(s) Suffragan.

It is important that there is a Youth Presence at Diocesan Convention, and so beginning in 2012, there will be.
