2021 CONVENTION
Diocesan Convention is the yearly legislative meeting presided over by the bishop and consisting of the clergy of and elected representatives of its congregations. It considers the diocesan budget and other matters regarding the mission and ministry of the diocese.
The 126th Convention was held online in a webinar format on Saturday, January 30, 2021. Bishops Mariann and Chilton and the diocesan staff give thanks to God for all who participated in (or watched the live stream of ) Convention on Saturday and Race and Reckoning: An Exploration into Reparations on Friday night — and for the technology that facilitated our important work.
We are grateful to be building Beloved Community with you.
