MAPA Convening Board October 10, 2005

Here are the minutes of the Milwaukee priests' union's executive committe's meeting on October 10, 2005 [pdf].
Dave [Father Dave Cooper] has added many of the minutes from November of 2004 to the website. There are still three that need to be added: December 10, 2004 and two in 2005 (April & May).

The business agenda included planning for the then-upcoming meeing with Father Donald Cozzens.
[Father] Dick Aiken agreed to have snacks and soda available for all who attend.

A side order of Melchizedek?


Elections were coming.

Bill Burkert will develop a nomination ballot to be sent out ASAP. We will Then determine the time-line for the election.

After all the time they spent on their constitution and by-laws, I expected the time-line would be spelled out.
The date of the next General Meeting is March 15, 2006. This is a Wednesday. The meeting will be held at St. Matthias in Steiger Hall. There was a lot of discussion on what to do for that meeting. We thought that it would be good to continue on the topic of engaging a dialogue with the Archbishop. Perhaps we should invite him to the next General Meeting.

Here's a topic for "dialogue" from the committee reports
(new) Witch Hunt for Gays in Seminaries -- [Father] Steve Amann chaired this break-out group at the General Meeting. There are quite a number of priests interested in pursuing discussion around this topic. We will ask Steve to chair that group and to call some meetings.

Witch Hunt used to mean convincing yourself you found what you should have known wasn't there.

Next meeting Noveber 14, 2005.
