Day 0 – June 22, 2024
It was a slow morning for me as I was recovering from a long and stressful day of travel, time change, and the joys of humidity!
Around noon, I headed over to the convention center to register for convention. I immediately saw and spoke with a seminary classmate who serves as Chaplain to the House of Deputies. I checked in, got my credentials and iPad.
I then made my way to the vast hall with exhibitions. Quickly I ended up seeing several familiar faces from the Diocese of West Virginia. I made my way around and saw several interesting booths.
At 2 pm both houses of General Convention (Deputies and Bishops) gathered to hear triennial reports from the President of the House of Deputies and the Presiding Bishop. Following that we had an orientation to the House of Deputies. We went through how to use our iPads and how to speak and vote.
That evening most of the deputation from Montana gathered for dinner and discussion.
