Dear Disciples of the Diocese of Albany,

In preparation for the election of a Bishop Coadjutor for the Diocese of Albany, the Standing Committee has arranged for those Canonically Resident Clergy, Lay Deputies & Alternates, and interested members of the Diocese to have an opportunity to meet and hear from the nominees for that office at two Candidate Forums.

Candidate Forum #1 will be held Saturday, March 4, 2006 from 9 AM to 5 PM at Christ the King Spiritual Life Center, Greenwich, NY. Attendees should plan to arrive early (between 8 and 8:30 AM) to check-in and receive further instructions. Additionally, Candidate Forum #2 will be conducted Friday, March 24, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM for those clerics and lay deputies who are unable to attend the March 4 session.
Both Candidate Forums will begin with a brief introductory gathering in Christ the King Chapel. Following, attendees will be assigned to 11 venues where they will remain the balance of the Forum. The nominees will rotate through the 11 venues. Each rotation will last about 35 minutes, providing 25 minutes for statements, questions and responses and a short break before the next rotation. A moderator will be assigned to each venue to insure that all attendees are able to participate in the exchange of information.
Reservations will be necessary in order to attend the Candidate Forums. Box lunches will be available for $5.00. Beverages will be provided at no cost. In order to make a reservation, go to the Election Website at www.albanycoadjutorelection.info and click on Special Convention. There is a section at that site describing each Candidate Forum and providing a link to the registration form for each Forum date.
You are encouraged to bring your Special Convention Booklet with you to the Candidate Forum.

Faithfully,
The Standing Committee
Diocese of Albany
