March 29 special convention anticipated
By Pat McCaughan
A growing number of Episcopalians in the Diocese of San Joaquin are
opting to remain within the Episcopal Church (TEC), as the
Fresno-based diocese prepares for an anticipated March 29 special
convention that would elect a provisional bishop.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, in a letter to be
distributed via a new diocesan newspaper, notes the proposed
convention date and reassures the people of the diocese that work is
ongoing "to ensure that you and your fellow Episcopalians may continue
to bless the communities around you well into the future."
"I anticipate convening a Special Diocesan Convention on 29 March, at
which you will elect new diocesan leaders, and begin to make provision
for episcopal leadership for the next year or so," Jefferts Schori
writes. "That gathering will be an opportunity to answer questions you
may have, as well as to hear about plans for the renewal of mission
and ministry in the Diocese of San Joaquin."
