From Terry Ressler, Junior Warden The Diocesan Convention held January 29 & 30, was pretty uneventful. Emily Clifton served as All Faith’s lay representative, and I served as the alternate. Both of us went to the cathedral for the meetings. The newest feature of the convention was the use of electronic handheld voting devices. After a practice session of voting for our favorite cartoon characters, we got down to business. As usual, we voted for representatives to committees and conventions. And, as usual, the budget was a top concern. You’ve probably already read about it, but the big news was the bishop’s announcement that he is planning to retire. A search committee will be set up and the bishop plans to stay for a couple of months after a new bishop is elected to help with the transition. Emily feels that attending the convention as a delegate was a great learning experience, and is anticipating running for election to either the standing committee or the ecclesiastical court in the years to come.
