Meet Your General Convention Deputies from the Diocese of Lexington!
The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church that meets every three years. The Convention is a bicameral legislature that includes the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops. The work at Convention is carried out by deputies and bishops representing each diocese. During its triennial meeting deputies and bishops consider a wide range of important matters facing the Church. This year, the General Convention meets in Salt Lake City and the Diocese of Lexington's deputation and Bishop Hahn will join deputations and bishops from over 100 other dioceses from across The Episcopal Church, in addition to those who come to educate, inform, and support the Convention.
Each diocese has four clergy and four lay deputies, as well as alternates. Our lay deputies for 2015 are Dave Sevigny, St. Raphael's, Lexington, Mary T. Yeiser, Emmanuel, Winchester, Ann Davis McClain, St. Peter's, Paris, and Jim Ware, Christ Church Cathedral, Lexington, joined by lay alternates Holli Powell, Mary Ann Weiss, and Barbara Crain. Clergy deputies are The Rev. Cn. Elise Johnstone, Canon to the Ordinary, The Rev. Matthew Young, St. Paul's Newport, The Rev. Margaret Shanks, Our Saviour, Madison County, and The Rev. Jeff Queen, St. Andrew's, Ft. Thomas. The clergy alternates are The Rev. Peter D'Angio and The Rev. Duane Smith.
Some topics that will be considered by General Convention are the election of a new Presiding Bishop, discussing the issue and theology of marriage, and church governance restructuring.
