Diocesan Convention

Each Mission or Parish is entitled to a certain number of lay delegate representation each year at Diocesan Convention. These numbers are determined by our Diocesan Canon 2.2.1. The Canons of the Diocese of Oklahoma state: 2.2.1. The Lay Delegates. (a) Each Parish is entitled to two Lay Delegates and an additional Lay Delegate for every 100 Communicants or major fraction thereof after the first 100.

No Parish is entitled to more than ten Lay Delegates. Each Mission is entitled to one Lay Delegate and an additional Lay Delegate for every 50 Communicants or a major fraction thereof after the first 50. No Mission is entitled to more than three Lay Delegates. The numeration of Communicants is based on the Annual Parochial Reports of the Parishes and Missions for the preceding year.

If you have questions about Lay or Clergy Delegates, please contact: Diocesan Registrar Lesli Graft at lgraft@epiok.org or 405-437-0482. If you would like to know how many lay delegates your church is entitled to the list is below.
