From ENS-
The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church is meeting at the Kanuga Conference Center in North Carolina from March 25 to March 30. The following is an account of the activities for Tuesday, March 29.
Following Morning Prayer and Bible Study, the session was opened by emcee for the day Bishop Victor Scantlebury of Chicago. The readings for the day from St. Paul's letter to the Romans continued the reflections on the Abrahamic families which carried over from yesterday's topics.
The topic for the day was The Anglican Covenant: A New Perspective.
Bishop Neil Alexander of Atlanta introduced a conversation on the Anglican Covenant which included the three Anglican primates in attendance: Archbishop Fred Hiltz of Canada; Archbishop Henri Isingoma of the Congo; and Archbishop Paul Kim of South Korea.
The panelists spoke frankly about the covenant and their provincial context. Each expressed their commitment to continued conversation internally and externally on the topic of the covenant. Everyone affirmed their relationship with the House of Bishops as friends and fellow Anglicans.
The bishops had discussion at table and then the house engaged in conversation with the primates. Bishop Mary Gray-Reeves of El Camino Real facilitated the plenary session with the panelists.
Noon Eucharist was celebrated by Bishop Suffragan Dena Harrison of Texas. Preacher was the Rev. Stephanie Sellers of the Diocese of Massachusetts and chaplain for HOB.
The bishops will resume in session after dinner this evening. The topic will be Selection, Recruitment, and Formation of Young Leadership.
