The metropolitan in the province can be a convener, so I'll bring together people for our province, which includes not only the dioceses of Minnesota, but also South Dakota and North Dakota. There are times we're looking for some joint pastoral work or outreach where it's enriched by being able to do things in common rather than individually. But it's very few responsibilities that the metropolitan archbishop has, and it's certainly not to intervene in the matters of the local Church.
