The Rev. Ram Lopez and Richard Mosty address Council about the challenges and the benefits to the diocesan apportionment for congregations of all sizes.

They open their presentation with a “Set Aside Prayer”:

God, please help me set aside everything I think I know

about myself, the apportionment, and You, God,

so that I may have an open mind  and an new experience

with the diocese, with our parishes, and with all these things.

Please let me see the truth.

Amen.
