Call to Convention 2018
Join us for the 123rd annual meeting of Convention of the Diocese of Los Angeles, which will be held
Friday and Saturday, November 30 and December 1 at the Ontario Convention Center, 2000 East Convention Center Way, Ontario, California 91764
A pre-convention offering of educational workshops will be held on Friday, November 30 beginning at 9 a.m. The convention will begin at 12:30 p.m. Watch the Episcopal News Update for details.
This year we will introduce electronic voting, with a tutorial at the beginning of convention.
The Friday night Convention dinner will return this year, with entertainment and special presentations.
Bishop John Harvey Taylor has identified three aspects of "home" on which the convention will focus:
- “Reconciliation and unity in our diocesan family amid a renewed sense of common purpose under Christ and our commitment to financial transparency;
- “Our shared work of envisioning our places of worship and ministry as sacramental communities of connection and refreshment — base camps for accomplishing God’s work of justice and #BelovedCommunity-building;
- “Recognizing that, like our Lord, our homeless and housing-insecure siblings, as well as our scapegoated immigrant worker siblings and their families, often have nowhere to lay their heads, which also calls us to ministries of welcome, hospitality, sustainability, and justice.”
Worship services will reflect three themes: Black Lives Matter, Sacred Resistance, and the #MeToo movement.
The convention will conclude by 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1 with Eucharist.
More information will be announced as details become available. All convention-related forms may be found at
