The General Convention Task Force on Translation and Interpretation, formed by Resolution A024, has released a survey to help its work of developing recommendations for determining and prioritizing written materials that should be translated and meetings where interpretation should be provided within The Episcopal Church.

“The survey will help us determine strategy and set priorities to incorporate all members fully into the body of Christ,” said the Rt. Rev. Lucinda Ashby, task force chair.

The online survey is available to the entire church but is being directed to all dioceses and to those parishes that have identified that they use languages other than English in their worship, operations, and service to their communities.

The survey is available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, and Mandarin (Chinese-Traditional).

Responses to the survey should be provided no later than June 2.
