ECMN Convention 2026

October 22-24 | Doubletree Hotel, St. Louis Park

Registration coming this summer.

Resolutions

Deadline to receive Resolutions: July 23, 2026

Resolutions call on the Episcopal Church in Minnesota to take specific action; commend or commemorate a person, event, or other matter; take up legislative action on a particular topic but do not have specific steps to do this; or take a stance on a particular issue. A diocese can also adopt a resolution asking the General Convention, the governing body of The Episcopal Church, to take action, study a matter, or do any of the other things listed in this paragraph. Anyone may submit a resolution. Learn more about the process and form for submitting resolutions by clicking here.

Lay Delegate Certification

Deadline to receive Lay Delegate Certification: August 23, 2026

You can certify the lay delegates from your congregation now! (There is no need to certify clergy; all canonically-resident clergy are automatically certified.) Click here to find the form to certify lay delegates.

Nominations for Elected Bodies

Deadline to receive Nominations: August 23, 2026

Each year at Convention, new members of the governing bodies of ECMN are elected (Standing Committee, Trustees, Commission on Ministry and Council).

You may nominate others for those roles or may apply yourself to be placed on the ballot. Those nominated will need to consent to their nomination by filling in the application form.



Canonical Amendments

Deadline to receive Canonical Amendments: September 23, 2026 

Canon 910.1: Time for Consideration. Every proposal to amend these Canons must be served upon delegates at least thirty (30) days before the Convention at which the amendment will be considered. 

Canon 910.2: Voting, and Approval by Bishop. An amendment must be approved during the same Convention by a majority vote in each order, voting separately, and also agreed-to by the Bishop.
