The Episcopal Diocese of West Texas will host four Pre-Council meetings for clergy, lay delegates, and lay alternates, via Zoom, in 2023. These meetings will be required for clergy as well as lay delegates and alternates, in order to practice using the online voting system and to review Council business items including the proposed diocesan budgets, resolutions, and nominations for elected offices of the Diocese.

Each Pre-Council meeting will take place online beginning at 5:30 p.m. Detailed log-in information will be communicated to participants one day prior to each meeting.

The annual Diocesan Council of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas will convene in Corpus Christi, February 16-18, 2023.

All voting for diocesan council will be accomplished through an online voting application, called Simply Voting. Pre-Council meetings will provide an opportunity for delegates and alternates to Council to practice online voting using Simply Voting. Clergy, delegates, and alternates will need a unique email address and an individual mobile device (e.g. a smart phone, iPad, Tablet, or laptop) to open their email and submit votes during the online Pre-Council meeting and during Council. All ballots for voting will be sent to the email address provided on the Certification Form for clergy, delegates, and alternates.
