The nominating committee has assigned the category of Minister of Word and Sacrament to our synod for nomination. \nWe are looking for people who would bring a commitment to the work of this church in all of its expressions. It is important that those nominated can work with the other members of the Church Council in assuming the governance role that has been assigned to the council. \nThis means that our 2018 Synod Assembly will select two persons who fit this category. These persons will then be nominated to the Churchwide Assembly\, which will elect one to a six-year term on the Church Council\, beginning upon the conclusion of the 2019 Assembly. \nThe process that our synod uses to identify and nominate these people is not described in the constitution. What is required is that the Synod Assembly nominates them. That means there will need to be a vote of the assembly to place these two people in nomination. Once these names are presented to the assembly in Milwaukee\, there is not provision for nominations from the floor for this position. The two people we nominate from our 2018 Synod Assembly will be the only two on the ballot for the 2019 Churchwide Assembly. \nAffinity Groups\nWe have four meeting spaces available during Assembly. We will be hosting the following Affinity Groups and encourage everyone to attend one: \nLeadership Formation (with Bishop Erik Gronberg) \nELCA Churchwide (with Kathryn Lohre\, ELCA Churchwide Representative) \nYouth (facilitator being confirmed) \nLatin@/Ethnic-specific Ministry (with DEM Irma Bañales) \nTHANK YOU!!!\nELCA Mission Investment Fund for underwriting part of the costs of this Assembly \nHeart of Texas Conference for hosting\, and especially The Rev.
