The following documents have accumulated over three decades of Mutual Ministry in the Diocese of Northern Michigan. They are most often presented in the context of an orientation to or discussion about Mutual Ministry, and often with people who have come to the diocese to learn more about us. So, please keep in this in mind when consuming the information.
Most often when there are questions that these documents cannot answer, the suggestion to the reader is, “Come to the diocese for a visit!”
