New Deputy, Resolutions to Church Pension Fund

I'm excited to attend General Convention as a new deputy and honored to represent the Diocese of Northern California. There are activities and sessions specifically for new deputies to orient us to all that will be going on.

I will be a member of the Church Pension Fund committee. The Church Pension Fund's mission is to fulfill our fiduciary responsibility by serving the clergy, lay workers, dependents, parishes, dioceses and other institutions in the Episcopal Church through the provision of pensions and other benefits and services that will contribute to their lifetime econiomic, physical, emotional adn spiritual well-being.

The Church Pension Fund has five resolutions. The resolution with the most impact establishes The Church Pension Fund Denominational Health Plan for all dioceses, parishes, missions and other ecclesiastical organizations. The Diocese of Northern California has provided health coverage to clergy and lay employees of our Diocese through the Church Pension Fund Medical Trust since the beginning of 2009. Beginning in 2013, health coverage will be mandated through the Denominational Health Plan. Currently, 75% of the domestic dioceses provide health coverage through the Church Medical Trust.
