DIOCESAN CONVENTION 2022

By: Chris Tumilty, Director of Communications

Diocesan Convention returns to an in-person gathering for the first time in two years. On Friday, November 11, everyone can join Convention online for an evening of virtual presentations, a panel discussion, and workshops. On the morning of Saturday, November 12, elected delegates, clergy, and visitors will gather at St. Bartholomew’s in Poway to worship, learn, and discern together–reflecting on becoming a better people of God.


Diocesan Convention is the annual business meeting of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego and acts as the primary legislative body of the Diocese. It’s a time when clergy and laypeople from all over the diocese come together to vote on an annual budget, to elect officers, and hear reports of work from diocesan programs. Read More

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A DEACON?

By: The Ven. Cindy Campos, Archdeacon

The diaconate is one of the three ordained ministries in the Episcopal Church. The diaconate is a full and equal clergy order. It is a unique calling, different from the call to become a priest.  


Has anyone ever told you you’d make a good deacon or suggested that you think about the ministry of the vocational diaconate? Perhaps you’ve asked yourself – “I wonder what it would be like…Is God calling me?” The character of the deacon is twofold. The deacon’s ministry is both that of servant-leader and assistant, found both inside and outside of the church. Read More

HONORING THE DIGNITY AND SACREDNESS OF DIVERSE VOICES AT GENERAL CONVENTION

By: Rachel Ambasing

This past July, I had the pleasure of attending General Convention for the first time and as a lay alternate: I was able to spend time with a great group of kind, thoughtful and inquiring deputies from around our Diocese of San Diego, who love this Church and care deeply about the Church’s people. I had the opportunity to meet other deputies from around the country, putting in perspective how small a piece of the Episcopal puzzle our diocese is. And, I was able to be present for discussions and historic elections and decision-making that took concrete action towards turning into reality the dreams of a Church that more closely resembles and equitably honors the abundant diversity of God’s creation – elections and decisions that may once have seemed impossible to certain groups of folks in Episcopal Church history. Read More
