The 79th Episcopal General Convention is
July 5 - 13, 2018, Austin Convention Center,
Austin, Texas, Diocese of Texas
The 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church will be held from
Thursday July 5 to Friday July 13, 2018 at the Austin Convention Center,
Austin, Texas, and Diocese of Texas. The General Convention is the primary
governing and legislative body of the Episcopal Church in the United States
of America. It meets regularly once every three years; however, the House
of Bishops meets regularly in between sessions of General Convention. The
Bishops have the right to call special meetings of General Convention.
Excluding the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Constitution and
Canons because of their vital importance, the General Convention has
governing and legislative authority in the Episcopal Church as a
bureaucratic facility through which the collegial function of the episcopate
is exercised. General Convention comprises two houses: The House of
Deputies and the House of Bishops.
All diocesan, coadjutor, suffragan, and assistant bishops of the Episcopal
Church, whether active or retired, have a seat and vote in the House of
Bishops. Each diocese of the Episcopal Church, as well as the Navajoland
Area Mission and the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, are
entitled to representation in the House of Deputies by four clergy deputies,
either presbyters or deacons, canonically resident in the diocese and four
lay deputies who are confirmed communicants in good standing. The
Episcopal Church of Liberia is entitled to representation in the House of
Deputies by two clergy deputies and two lay deputies, all with seat and
voice but no vote. The Official Youth Presence is a group of eighteen high
school youth, two from each province. They also have seat and voice but no
vote. Resolutions must pass both houses to take effect.
When the General Convention meets, it legislates the business of the
Episcopal Church. Between Conventions, the General Convention continues
to work through its committees and commissions. The Executive Council of
the Episcopal Church carries out the programs and policies adopted by
General Convention. (Source: http://www.generalconvention.org/)
Fr. Wilson will be traveling to Austin, Texas July 3 – 13, 2018 to attend the
General Convention.

School Tools Drive
The Guild of the Black Madonna is hosting a School Tools Drive, July 22 - August 19, 2018.
School Tools is a school supplies drive for children from low-income and homeless families. This drive is
an easy way to join together with area faith communities and organizations to help children in our
community who are affected by poverty.
By the Numbers
Each year, we collect new backpacks, calculators, and other school essentials to benefit school children from low-income and homeless families being served through ten different programs in the East Metro.
Just one of these partners, the St. Paul Public Schools Title I Program for Homeless Children and Families, serves nearly 2,000 homeless students each year.
Last year, together with 27 area faith communities, plus individual donors, we collected more than $20,000 of school supplies filling 550 backpacks for local students in need.
Supply List
High priority supplies: Backpacks, 3-ring binders, calculators, facial tissue
Other supplies needed: Spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, pencils, pens, markers, folders, school boxes, erasers, highlighters, pencil sharpeners, colored pencils, rulers, glue sticks & bottles, loose-leaf paper, scissors, crayons, USB flash drives
Donate
We use monetary donations to purchase needed supplies not collected at the drive. Make checks
payable to Interfaith Action with “School Tools” in the memo line. When making a donation online,
please designate “School Tools” in the text field.
From Carlotta’s Corner…
Most of us have learned to accept when an automated attendant answers our telephone calls. Have you ever
wondered what it would be like if God decided to use an automated attendant to screen our prayers? Imagine
beginning to pray and hearing one of the following automated messages:
Please select one of the following options: press 1 for requests, press 2 for thanksgivings, press 3 for
complaints. All other callers, please press 4.
I’m sorry; all of our angels and saints are busy helping other sinners right now. Your prayer is important to
us. Please stay on the line and your prayer will be answered in the order it was received.
Heaven is now accepting reservations. To secure your reservation, press JOHN-3-16.
If you are calling after hours and need emergency assistance, please hang up and contact your local pastor.
