Welcome Just a short note to introduce folks to the Deputation blog and the blogs for deputies and alternates. On this blog, which you can bookmark or put in your favorites you will find basic news of the day sorts of things. The members will report to your Editor (Michael Russell) about the committees they attended and the WhoWhatWhyWhereWhenHow of the meeting. The deputation communications committee (Allisyn Thomas, Andrew Green and me) arrange the information here. If we are lucky there will be pictures too.

For reflections, opinions, perspectives, diatribes, rants, and other things that make the internet fun you can click on the deputies and alternates names and it will carry you to their blog! We take no responsibility for the content of these individual blogs, so if something inspires or upsets you, write to the person who wrote it and not to me or Bishop Mathes!

Below the list of people there is a Resource section. I have already posted a link to the General Convention page of the Episcopal Church and to the Blue Book which has alllllllllllll the material deputies get. Browse through it.

Since there are no hotspots on the floor of convention it is most likely that this newsblog will be updated late at night.

Getting Going in Columbus

The first two days of the 75th General Convention were spent in orientations, legislative committees and hearings, and meeting guests and dignitaries.

On Tuesday afternoon both Houses were visited by The Archbishop of York, the Most Rev. John Sentamu who encouraged Convention in its work and conveyed a message from the Archbishop of Canturbury. The Archbishop and his message were warmly received by the House of Deputies.
