Yes, diocesan conventions will happen, but they will be virtual.
For a Church Convention:
Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel in the Convention for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Join in a season of prayer from October 27 - November 4
- Forward Movement Publications and our Office of Government Relations are organizing a season of prayer, a novena, which is a nine-day period of intentional prayer for a specific intention, a time of prayer for an election.
-
On the 1st of November, will be a national service of prayer at our Washington National Cathedral.
-
From November 1st until November 5th, there's going to be a prayer hotline, a joint project with Try Tank (https://www.trytank.org/),Virginia Theological Seminary, General Theological Seminary, and members of our staff working together to create this prayer hotline.
-
Whether electric or the real candles in our windows at Christmas, why not light a candle? It's in our tradition to light candles, it's in the tradition of Hanukkah to light candles. So why not in this time of election light a candle while it's dark, and cast away the darkness? Light and pray and vote. The light matters, it's real.

Heading toward General Convention |
|
-
The General Convention Website has all of the latest information and announcements
-
All of the news releases are on the News Page
- Update on the 80th General Convention: The ongoing pandemic has led to rapid changes in every aspect of ministry and church life. With this in mind, church leadership is diligently exploring all possibilities regarding the 80th General Convention (June 30--July 9, 2021). Every decision regarding the General Convention must be made with due care for the health of each member of the beloved community, our hosting community and diocese, and in conjunction with local and national public health mandates. Discussions have been complicated by the fact that many of our service providers (including hotel and facilities staff) have been furloughed or have lost their positions during this pandemic. We expect that an announcement about the 80th General Convention will be made this autumn.
- Stay tuned!
