THE SCHEDULE

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is a diocese? What’s a convocation?

  A diocese is a group of churches that serve one another under the oversight of a Bishop. Typically, a diocese belongs to a larger organization, or Communion. We are a part of the CEEC (Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches).

  A convocation is simply a formal gathering of the people and clergy of a Diocese.

• What content will be covered at the inaugural Convocation?

  We will unpack Convergence with inspirational sessions focusing on the Evangelical, Pentecostal & Sacramental streams. You will hear from Guest Speakers Bishop Mike Owen, Presiding Bishop Quintin Moore and Crispin Fletcher-Louis, as well as DOR Bishop Sean Yost. Our hope is that you leave feeling refreshed, equipped and excited about the vision and future of our Diocese.
