Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows
Living Like We Pray with the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Bishop of Indianapolis

What if we were not ashamed to live our faith in Jesus? What if we renewed our commitment to furthering God’s kingdom on earth? What if we committed to living a flourishing life in God, realizing that none of us are flourishing unless all of us are flourishing? God calls each of us to renew our commitment to a radical baptism, for at its heart, baptism is a radical act in which we are saying no to a particular way of life and we are saying yes to a new way of life. In baptism, we covenant to do this work together, realizing that if we lived like we prayed, we could change the world.
Convention Schedule/Agenda:
The Convention schedule will be created to encourage maximum participation in our online format. The Opening Worship livestream will begin at 7:00 pm on Thursday, October 7. Friday evening, October 8, our Convention speaker, Bishop Jennifer will bring a message "Living Like We Pray" to revive and inspire our spirits. On Saturday, October 9, the business of Convention will include diocesan elections and other canonically required business and will conclude with an address from Bishop Kym Lucas. The sessions will be available by livestream, zoom webinars, and secure zoom meetings. Please view the convention agenda here (PDF)
