One of the

council will not only elect people to fill positions for the diocese,
but will also elect delegates to the next General Convention of The
Episcopal Church. Tellers are need to help conduct voting and to count
the votes. The council runs from 9 a.m. Friday, February 7 until 4 p.m.
Saturday, February 8. The council is held at the Williamsburg Lodge. If
you are interested in being a teller please contact the Rev. Bob Gay, rgay@brutonparish.org.
