I received a Summons and Notice of Status Conference in an Adversary Proceeding. I am named as a defendent. What am I required to do? It looks like I should respond. Please advise

Yes. You must respond to the adversary action within the time period set forth in the summons. Otherwise, the plaintiff can obtain the relief requested through default.

Re: Bankruptcy Summons

You should respond to the action. Should you fail to do so, a default judgment may be entered against you. If you are the party who filed bankruptcy, and the complaint alleges it is seeking to determine dischargeability of debt, you might want to consider settling the case instead of fighting it and working out a payment plan. In the alternative, you may want to consider converting your case to a Chapter 13.
