Take a deep breath, fasten your seat belts. Start your engines and here we go! There always is an air of excitement and electricity as you enter the doors of the House of Deputies. With all deputies in their seats (over 850) the President of the House of Deputies, Bonnie Anderson, declares that the 76th General Convention of The Episcopal Church is called to order.
Yesterday my committee, #14 on Ministry, met and discussed the resolutions appointed to us. These resolutions deal with Multicultural Leadership Development, amending canons dealing with ministry, Theological Education Issues, Indigenous Ministry Training, and many more. We have our work layed out before us!
I sit in the House of Deputies wondering where the Holy Spirit will take us. I am very proud of our Episcopal Church and I know that God is still, and will remain in control. Keep us all in your prayers!
The Rev. Canon Stephen M. Carpenter
