General Convention

The first meetings of General Convention started yesterday. I'll be heading out tomorrow morning and can hardly wait.

The things most worth keeping an eye on are

1. Title IV revisions. Since Title IV is the disciplinary canons it should be self evident why a proposal to completely re-write them has the potential to make life interesting.

2. Election of the next Presiding Bishop.

3. Election of the next President of the House of Deputies.

4. The response to the Windsor Report. This is the point around which most of the worrying is centering.

5. The budget is always worth keeping an eye on, since it can potentially provide a significant amount of money to more local programs.

You can go to here for views from Northwest Texas, or you can go to Fr. Jake Stops the World for links to all sorts of good information on the convention. You can also go here to view legislation as the convention progresses.
