Diocesan Councils

Diocesan Councils are governing bodies within a diocese, which is a regional unit of a church, such as the Eastern Orthodox or Anglican church. These councils consist of clergy and laypeople who collaborate to oversee church operations, manage finances, support clergy, and make decisions on religious and community matters. They help ensure the diocese functions effectively, aligns with church teachings, and serves its members’ spiritual and social needs. Essentially, they are organized groups working collectively for the good governance and mission of the diocese.
