Working and Praying

Posted By: The Ven. Sonny Browne

Deputy Tess Judge serves on the Standing Committee on Program, Budget, and Finance.  She does an excellent job and has gained respect of the committee members and others throughout The Episcopal Church.  We are very proud of her and her work.  She has labored long into the night and risen very early to do this work on a daily basis here in Anaheim.  She and the other committee members will present a budget for The Episcopal Church for the next three years.  Thank you Deputy Judge for your work and diligence!

Prayer of Trust

Traveling is always an adventure. Today I woke up thankful. Thankful for safety, for companions and friends, for sunny warm (but not too hot) weather and for the opportunity to be a part of this gathering.

Just A Few Thoughts from Bishop

A Post from Bishop Daniel

I want to share some thoughts with you as I prepare to leave for Anaheim this coming Saturday. First, I’m excited to prepare to attend my seventh General Convention (my fifth as Bishop), and I am honored once again to take my place in Convention as Bishop of our blessed Diocese of East Carolina.

For me, this will be a busy General Convention (All of them are!). There is first, the daily round of legislative sessions, committee meetings, worship including small services as well as a daily Eucharist for the entire Convention, special events, etc. A brief look at the (filled) General Convention daily schedule will give a good idea of how a Deputy or Bishop’s day is spent in the main.

Confessions of a First Time Deputy

Posted By: The Rev. Carrie Craig

Okay – maybe confessions are supposed to happen after the event but I am feeling the need right now!

Excited, nervous, and way too busy- these are all my descriptions for the days preceding today. Emails have been flying between friends – old and new. Reunions are planned and surprise meetings anticipated. As to the schedule, I still do not know how to read it!

My Day for Departure is Near!

Posted by: The Ven. Sonny Browne

June 29th, 2009 seemed like a long way away when I was elected to be a deputy, and now the day for my departure is very near!  I am leaving a couple of days early to see the Pacific Ocean and California for the first time, and I am thankful to have Virginia Seminary classmates in the Diocese of Los Angeles to show me around and put me up for a while.  I also hope to see the mountains and desert, the Getty Museum, Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral Church, and The Cathedral Church of Saint John and Saint Paul, among other LA area sites.
