Resilience & Renewal

This year’s Convention is an historic one as the diocese gathers to mark the final year of the Rt. Rev. John Harvey Taylor’s nine-year episcopate and delegates elect the VIII Bishop of Los Angeles.
We look forward to seeing you at Convention!
The annual pre-Convention diocesan presentations will be hosted online in late October following the Bishop candidate meet-and-greets scheduled for the week of October 21-24.
Individual Deanery Assemblies will follow directly after the presentation in breakout rooms in the same Zoom meeting.
Deaneries 3, 4 & 5 – Saturday, October 25 @ 10 a.m.
Deaneries 6, 7 & 8 – Saturday, October 25 @ 3 p.m.
Deaneries 1, 2, 9 & 10 – Saturday, November 1 @ 10 a.m.
Here is the Zoom link to attend. The link is the same for all three meetings. No registration is necessary.
If you are unable to attend your Deanery’s scheduled Zoom, you are welcome to attend the Diocesan presentation on another date.
A massive thank you to the administrators, treasurers, vestries, rectors, vicars, and more who take the time to fill out this detailed, time-consuming, and absolutely vital report!
