We are still reeling after hosting the wonderful EPN Conference March 8-11. Many parishes from our diocese send clergy and lay leaders for the first time. The conference featured top-level keynote conversations* (Jon Meacham, Mari Kurashi, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, The Right Rev. Dr. Vicentia Rofiloe Kgabe and the Rev. Sam Wells), eight role-based pre-conferences, and five topical tracks with three workshops each. It was an informative and energetic few days filled with hope for the Episcopal Church and love for the Lord and all creation.

The worship service was livestreamed and can be viewed here. The keynote conversations were recorded. We'll share them with you as soon as they are available.
