Why Wait?

Posted By: Mrs. Joan Geiszler-Ludlum

The next time I become worried about the future of The Episcopal Church, I need only recall General Convention 2009.  In addition to two young Clergy Deputies, and my own  Lay Alternate daughter, part of the two percent of Deputies and Alternates under 35, and a first time 23 year old Deputy who served on the Legislative Committee on Structure, I have had the further privilege of working with several representatives of the Official Youth Presence.  These bright, energetic young adults are sufficient to sustain my hope for The Episcopal Church of the future.

D025 – what it is and what it isn’t.

[View resolution D025 in its final form here]

D025 reaffirms resolution A159 of the 2006 General Convention – it affirms our commitment to the Anglican Communion, of which we are a constituent member, and which is a rich tapestry of ministries and networks as well as personal relationships. It isn’t a huge Church, like the Roman Catholic Church, but is an aggregation of independent national Churches.
