De-mystifying General Convention

What, exactly goes on at a General Convention of the Episcopal Church?  This is old hat to deputies who have been to five or six General Conventions, as many have, but it is always a mystery to people who have never attended the week-long gathering.  So here  is what the Diocese of New York is doing this year!

2022 General Convention
invites you to an
Online General Convention Orientation Session
