Diocesan Jubilee Officer training event

Jubilee Ministry was established in 1982 by General Convention resolution A080. The mandate for Jubilee Ministry was to be a joint discipleship in Christ with poor and oppressed people wherever they are located, to meet basic human need and to build a just society.

In 1985 the General Convention adopted resolution A106 which resolved “that in each diocese there be appointed a Jubilee officer who will become informed on all facets of the Jubilee Ministry, serve as a liaison to the Jubilee Ministry Commission, and be available as a resource to their bishops and congregations and otherwise bring support to further Jubilee Ministries in each diocese of the Church.”

To this end, the Office of Social and Economic Justice is sponsoring a Diocesan Jubilee Officer training from July 06-09, 2011 at Cathedral Domain in the Diocese of Lexington.
