The Episcopal
Church's General Convention is held every three years, and is the
bicameral governing body of the Church. It is composed of the House of
Bishops, with upwards of 200 active and retired bishops and the House of
Deputies, with clergy and lay representatives elected from the 109
dioceses of the Church, at more than 800 members.
Patrick Haizel,
General Convention volunteer coordinator, said that all are welcomed to
help out. "We are seeking interested people to offer their skills and
talents to assist in the smooth operation of General Convention 2015,"
he said. "By volunteering, you become a part of General Convention,
through observation and participation, while learning about the way the
church operates from behind the scenes."
Shifts range from 2
to 6 hours in a variety of areas throughout convention where volunteers
are needed. "With this General Convention going virtual, we have new
needs for people with computer and technical skills," Haizel added.
Volunteers should sign up here. For more info contact Patrick Haizel at phaizel@episcopalchurch.org.
