Chairman’s Reflection
Transitions, Gratitude, and Hope for the Future
Most Revered Arturo Cepeda | Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit | Chairman of the Committee on Cultural Diversity |
Dear brothers and sisters,
Fall seems like an appropriate time for me to reflect on transitions. At the end of the Bishops’ Plenary Assembly in November 2024, I will be handing over the chairmanship of the Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church to my esteemed brother Bishop Robert Brennan of Brooklyn, who was elected last year to take over the reins this November. He will be forming a new committee with new members and subcommittee chairs.
I am very grateful that the bishops elected him, as I know he strives every day to be aware of and responsive to the needs of the different cultural and ethnic communities in his very diverse diocese, while also inviting in their gifts and traditions to help build our one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I leave the committee in very good hands indeed!
