Convention 2012

"We will, with God's help"

Washington National Cathedral
January 27-28, 2012

Welcome to the website for the Episcopal Diocese of Washington Convention. Information from the 2012 diocesan convention is available here. Additional details will be posted here as they become available.

Follow-up from Convention and Next Steps - NEW!

In 2011, Diocesan Council visited several parishes to gather information concerning current issues and possible assistance the Council and the next Bishop could offer.  A synthesis of the Visitation Project is posted below.

Building on that, there were group discussions held at the 2012 Convention about strengths and challenges in your congregations.  Attendees were assigned to groups based on average Sunday attendance. 

We thought it would be wise to ask you what would be most helpful for you and your congregational or mission context, and ask that you take a quick survey.

Fill out the survey for next steps.
