Committee on Cultural Diversity |
 On
January 1, 2008 a reorganization of the USCCB went into
effect. One of the results of this was the creation of
one of the largest committees of the Bishops'
Conference, the Committee on Cultural Diversity in the
Church. I was honored to be elected first chairman of
this committee at the bishops' November 2007 annual
meeting in Baltimore.
It is a source of great
pride to see the universal Church well represented in
our Committee and to be entrusted by the USCCB with the
task of furthering the participation of all God's People
in the life of the Church.
