Dean's Forum: Reading the Psalms
Although reading the psalms is an important part of our liturgy, we typically hear them out of context. This brief overview will offer an approach to understanding the psalms more fully. How is the Book of Psalms organized? What different purposes were the psalms written to serve? What kinds of arguments do the psalms offer? What are the most helpful guides to an informed reading of the psalms? Acting Dean Paul Gaston will lead the discussion.

General Convention of The Episcopal Church
Thursday, July 5 - Friday, July 13
The 79th General Convention of The Episcopal Church is now meeting and will conclude on July 13. General Convention is the triennial gathering of clergy and lay deputies (four of each from every diocese) and all bishops in the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops. It includes worship, legislative hearings and the crafting of legislation by 26 different legislative committees with debate and action in both houses.
Numerous communicants of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio are participating as volunteers, helping the Convention accomplish an extraordinary amount of business in a relatively short period of time. Trinity members Bill DiTurro and Dale Murphy are at the Convention as volunteers. Trinity Vestry member Jane Freeman is representing the Diocese of Ohio as a lay deputy.
Tune in to the Convention's
media hub for live-streaming from Austin of legislative sessions from both houses, daily worship, press round-ups, and on-demand features. Additional coverage can be found at the
Episcopal News Service. A comprehensive list of General Convention resources from the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio is available
HERE.
The July 29 Dean's Forum will be devoted to a report out and discussion of what happened at this year's General Convention.
