Boost Task Force

Advocating for Neurodiverse People in the Episcopal Church

The BOOST Task Force is a task force based in the Episcopal Diocese of Newark.

The Resolution for creation of the task force was voted on and unanimously adapted at the 150th Annual Convention of The Episcopal Diocese of Newark on November 8-9, 2024. Read the resolution here.

The resolutions calls the Convention to recognize that all people are children of God and that those who identify as Neurodivergent may require different approaches to pastoral care and reasonable accommodations to participate in worship.

In 2025, the task force will collect insights and explore the experiences of members within our diocese regarding neurodivergence and inclusion, focusing on what it means to live fully in the glory of Christ. The findings will be delivered by report to the 151st Annual Diocesan Convention in Autumn 2025.
