Welcome to the Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin.
Convention is where we gather to conduct the business of our Diocese together. Over these days, we will worship, deliberate, elect leaders, consider resolutions, adopt a budget, and make decisions that shape our common life and ministry.
This is an entry into our third full year as a reunified Diocese, one that has built new relationships and laid the foundations for our shared work. Those efforts have positioned us well for the work ahead.
Together, we will review where we have been, consider the opportunities before us, and make the decisions necessary to support the mission and ministry of our Diocese in the years to come.
Thank you for your willingness to serve, participate, and engage in this important work. We pray that our time together will be productive, thoughtful, and guided by the Holy Spirit as we seek the good of the whole Church.
