Online Pre-Convention Meetings

To assist all delegates in their preparations for Diocesan Convention and to encourage all members of the Diocese to learn a little more about our common life and ministry, we are offering an online pre-Convention orientation meeting on four different days ahead of Convention.

• offer an overview of Convention
• have a look at the agenda for February 10th and 11th
• review East Carolina’s mission priorities and some of our progress thus far
• consider resolutions that have been submitted and nominations that have been made
• introduce the proposed budget for 2023.

Members of the diocese are welcome to attend any one of these four online meetings, to be hosted by Bishop Skirving:

• 2pm on Thursday, January 26th
• 7pm on Thursday, February 2nd
• 2pm on Friday, February 3rd
• 4pm on Sunday, February 5th

Please note: Zoom links will be provided on our Pre-Convention Meetings page on the day of the meeting. On the day of the meeting, return to this page and click the link button for the meeting at its appointed time. We will also send out an email through our News & Notes mailing list including the meeting link on the day of the meeting.
