Summary

In this episode, RomComm takes a spin in the host's chair and welcomes Canon Megan to discuss the upcoming 81st General Convention of the Episcopal Church. We explain that the General Convention is both an event and an entity where bishops and deputies come together and to vote on legislation that determines the rules and direction of the church for the next three years. We preview some hot topics that will be addressed at the convention, including canons and constitution amendments, prayer book revisions, and, of course, elections. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of the convention as a time for prayer, discernment, and the celebration of the church's values and mission.
