An email has gone out to canonically resident clergy and certified lay delegates to this year’s Diocesan Convention giving detailed instructions for Convention registration. If you are one of the two and have not received the email, please contact Jimi Paderick.

If you are an alternate delegate, you will not register until and unless you are called on to fill a regular delegate’s place. If you are a regular delegate and must drop out for any reason, you should notify your parish as soon as possible and the parish will take care of submitting a change form. The alternate will then be contacted to get that person registered.  

If you are an alternate, we ask that you stay informed by keeping up to date on the various items on the Convention website so that you are prepared should you need to step in.

All non-canonically resident clergy and those not serving as a delegate are invited and encouraged to check out the information on the Convention website and to “attend” Convention via live-stream.

“From Many, One: Conversations Across Difference” is a campaign inviting Episcopalians and our neighbors to engage in one-to-one listening and sharing across the many differences that separate us. The conversations center on four questions: What do you love? What have you lost? Where does it hurt? What do you dream?

Anyone can join in these life-changing conversations, by engaging one on one, exploring the questions in small groups, and talking with people of different ages and backgrounds. In so doing, we begin to discover how our differences make us stronger as the human family of God.

Here you'll find explanations for each of the questions, suggestions on going deeper, and additional resources to keep your conversations going. 

During this time, we will be checking in and sharing ideas/resources for Lent and Easter.

Registration is required and can be found here.

If you've viewed the home page on our diocesan website recently, you may have noticed this map beneath the "Find a Church" header. This is the Episcopal Asset Map.

The Asset Map is now used by The Episcopal Church, Episcopal Relief & Development, and the Diocese of East Carolina. Each parish in our diocese has page of its own on the Asset Map. If you have not yet taken the time to check out the Asset Map or your parish's page, you can do so here.

If you notice that service times, contact information, photos, or any other content is out of date, there's an easy way to suggest changes. Click on the text that says, "update this place," make any recommended changes, and once you submit them, Lindsey Harts will review them and approve changes accordingly.

Contact Lindsey Harts if you have any additional questions.
