Watch for a report from the members who attended the Convention.

Workshops were held on a wide range of congregational development issues and diocesan business including resolutions on “holy habits” for all Episcopalians, the needs of children, our Companion Diocese, lay employee benefit mandates, and the diocesan budget were discussed.
