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.

Getting Ready, Getting a Grasp

I have made the plans. I have the bags packed (well, in my head at least), and my tickets are in place.  But am I ready to go?  I think not!

The Episcopal Church’s General Convention is such a large and looming prospect in front of me that I am not entirely sure where to start.  Since starting as my job as Communications Officer last year, General Convention has been there, looming in the month of July like the shadows of an L.A. high-rise to an ant.
