Post-General
Convention meetings are being held in each Convocation of the Diocese. On
Tuesday, August 18, the next of the gatherings will convene at Grace, Monroe,
followed by a Tuesday, August 25 meeting at Good Shepherd in Lake Charles,
and a Thursday, August 27 gathering at Ascension, Lafayette.
At each gathering, members of the Western Louisiana deputation to General
Convention joins the Rt. Rev'd D. Bruce MacPherson in a discussion of General
Convention actions and their possible impact on Western Louisiana. Each gathering
also has time for questions from attendees.
Bishop MacPherson has also asked members of the diocesan Standing Committee to attend as many of the gatherings as possible to get a sense of where the diocese stands on the issues facing the church.
All interested
Episcopalians are urged to attend. Each gathering will include a discussion
of General Convention issues by the deputation and a presentation by Bishop
MacPherson. There will also be sufficient time allotted for questions from
attendees.
Bishop MacPherson wishes to emphasize the fact
that these are not intended to be Convocation gatherings, but rather, opportunities
for individuals to attend the gathering that fits their schedule best.
