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.
The 81st General Convention of The Episcopal Church (GC81) will take place June 23-28 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Lauren Kay, Mark Spahr, Christian Clough, Richard Rozene, and chair John Hennessy. The delegation also includes Catherine Mansir, one of two high school students representing Province 1 (the seven dioceses of New England). If you have any questions about GC81, please reach out to [email protected].
Congregations are invited to apply for Strategic Congregational Support (SCS) from the diocese each year as the budget is prepared.
