Congregational Reporting Begins
Dear Clergy, Wardens and Administrators,
Very soon, you will receive a message from the ACNA Provincial Office on Congregational Reporting (AKA – parochial reports). As in past years, this annual report will be due March 1st. The Financial and Membership portions of this reporting are incorporated in the online Provincial Report for the ACNA. The full PDF version of the Provincial report form is available now for those ready to distribute the work and get prepared. Please note, there are changes to this year’s report, so review the questions carefully. When you’re ready, sign in to get started.
Basic parish information on every congregation has been preloaded for you. It is recommended that after setting up a User ID and logging in, you check that information and make any needed additions or corrections.
Be sure to update your clergy and staff details there. The information you provide will be the profile displayed to anyone in the world searching for an ACNA parish in your area. Providing accurate information now will bless your parish in the long run.
Our Canon for Global Missions, the Revd Cn. Bob Lawrence, has asked that I share the additional guidance for completing that portion of the ACNA report. Please review his guidance and proceed accordingly.
The information being requested by the Diocese is in two links. The first asks for Diocesan Supplemental Information. The second form for the diocesan report is that for Clergy Salaries. Once you complete the fillable pdfs you must save the documents using “save as” with a new name to preserve your filled out form and then email them to the diocese or print the filled out forms, scan them and mail them to the Diocese. The fillable PDF’s for preparing these reports may also be found on the Diocesan website.
As always, if you have questions, please feel free to contact either me or Mrs. Karen Rothenberger. Completed Diocesan forms should be emailed to Karen by March 1st. The Provincial information will be provided directly to the Diocese by the ACNA. Be sure to save printed copies of both your Provincial and Diocesan reports for your parish permanent records.
In Christ’s service,
The Rev. Canon Jim Lewis
The Anglican Diocese of South Carolina
