Convention

An annual gathering of clergy and congregational representatives to
conduct business and celebrate ministries across our diocese.

The business of Diocesan Convention will take place on November 6, 2021, using the same digital platform as 2020. An in-person “spring renewal” event will be held in late April 2022, which will include a dinner and guest speaker. Watch this space for important dates and deadlines in advance of the 2021 Convention.
