Archbishop of Canterbury makes debut appearance at General Convention


From Episcopal News Service-

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams begins a busy schedule of meetings July 8 as he arrives in Anaheim, California to spend two days engaging with the representatives at the Episcopal Church's General Convention.
Attending convention for the first time, Williams will make a keynote presentation addressing the world's economic crisis during a panel discussion webcast live July 8 on the General Convention media hub.

On July 8, Williams will meet with President of the House of Deputies Bonnie Anderson and her Council of Advice and have a conversation with the official youth delegates at the meeting, 18 young people selected from across the Episcopal Church.

Williams will participate in some of the worship services at General Convention, including offering a brief meditation during a July 9 Community Eucharist.

Williams is also scheduled to meet with the provisional bishops of the dioceses of Fort Worth, Pittsburgh, Quincy and San Joaquin to hear about the renewal in those places after the former bishops attempted to lead those dioceses out of the Episcopal Church.
