 Diocesan convention will meet at Ontario Convention Center, a new venue for the annual assembly.
 Visitors will be welcome as Diocesan Convention meets Dec. 6 - 7
Visitors will be welcome to attend and observe as Diocesan Convention convenes on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6 - 7 at the Ontario Convention Center. The convention will continue the theme "Seeds of Hope: Serving Together in Abundant Vineyards" introduced at last year's meeting. Visitors do not need to sign in or register. They are invited to observe the convention's workings and to roam the exhibit hall, where many ministries and organizations will display information about their work and vendors will have items for sale. During business sessions, beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday, visitors will be seated in a gallery just off the convention floor. They will be welcome to take part in the opening Eucharist, at which Bishop J. Jon Bruno will preside and deliver his annual address.  The Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris (pictured at left), first woman to be elected a bishop in the Anglican Communion, will deliver the Margaret Parker Memorial Lecture during the Saturday morning session, which will begin at 8:30 a.m. The convention also will hear several presentations from Tim Alderson, executive director of the Seeds of Hope initiative that is working to convert unused land at churches of the diocese to farms and orchards and to marshall resources to provide food for the needy. Delegates will elect deputies to the next General Convention in addition to a number of other officers, consider three resolutions and several changes to the diocese's constitutions and canons, and hear reports on the work of the church in its 140 congregations.

 Bishop Bruno asks Episcopalians
to join commemoration of
Newtown tragedy on Dec. 14 Bishop J. Jon Bruno has joined the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and several other local organizations in asking churches of the diocese to toll their bells 26 times on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 9:35 a.m. in memory of the 20 children and six teachers killed by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012. The Cathedral Center will participate in this commemoration by ringing its carillon at the appointed time. There will also be a brief gathering at 9:15 a.m. on Dec. 14 at Irvine United Congregational Church, 4915 Alton Pkwy, Irvine 92604, on the lawn at the west side of the church, to remember the victims of the Newtown tragedy. According to organizers, who include Episcopalians Canon Mary Leigh Blek and Charlie Blek of the Orange County chapter of the Brady Campaign, "there will not be overtly political messages, but rather, this will be a time to mourn and remember and let the public know that Newtown is not forgotten." Several clergy members will speak, and the event will culminate in the reading of the victims' names and the ringing of bells. Those attending will be invited to hang paper bells on living or symbolic trees in remembrance and as a sign of re-commitment to the cause of reducing gun violence. For information, or to commit a church to participate in bell-ringing, contact Becky Newman of South County Citizens Against Gun Violence, BeckyNewman2222@gmail.com or 949.786.1669.

Laundry Love
Sometimes the way to get people 'back to church' is by starting a different kind of church. Better yet, offering individuals or small groups the freedom to design their own form of worship. For Christian Kassoff and his wife, Shannon, church is Laundry Love and Thom's. Read article here.
