In its mission, the universal Church has responded to the mandate of Christ to “go out and teach all nations.” The Clergy Advisory Committee helps to support a disciple’s response to this mission on the local level.
The Archbishop annually appoints a committee of no fewer than five to no more than ten priests in staggered terms to serve as clergy advisors to the Office of Stewardship and Development.
