The General Convention of the Episcopal Church begins this Sunday

The 81st General Convention of the Episcopal Church will meet in Louisville, KY from June 23 – 28 at the Kentucky International Convention Center. The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church. Every three years it meets as a bicameral legislature that includes the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops, composed of deputies and bishops from each diocese. The Convention website can be viewed HERE.

The deputies representing our diocese, the Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida, were elected at our own diocesan convention in October. They are:

CLERGY DEPUTIES

The Rev. Canon Debra Andrew Maconaughey
The Rev. Dr. Tony Holder
The Rev. Roberta “Bobbie” Knowles
The Rev. Dr. Sanford Groff

LAY DEPUTIES

Mr. Duncan Hurd
Ms. Michelle Lane
Mr. Jean Milien
Ms. Ingrid Cheeseborough

CLERGY ALTERNATE DEPUTY

The Venerable Hal Hurley

LAY ALTERNATE DEPUTIES

Ms. Joan Smith
Mr. Vincent Adderly

Following the Convention Eucharist at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 26, the bishops with seat, voice, and vote will travel from the convention center to Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Louisville, where the election of the next Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church will take place during a sequestered session in the context of prayer and reflection. The nominees to become the 29th Presiding Bishop can be found HERE. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry finishes his nine-year term as Presiding Bishop this year.

Legislative information including resolutions, memorials, legislative committee meetings, the proposed budget, house calendars, committee reports and election information is available on the current (2024) vBinder HERE . In addition, the Legislative Resources page contains a variety of links and information.

It is important for us here at the Cathedral that we pray for our Bishop as well as our clergy and lay deputies beginning this weekend as they do this very important work of the Church in Louisville. Stay tuned for updates next week as our new Presiding Bishop is elected!

A Prayer for General Convention

Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel in Louisville for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Many blessings,

Father Jason

"Pews to Chairs" Project

There is still time to donate a chair!

For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success. In many cases, it has allowed congregations to experience a transformation and rebirth of their communities. Stackable, multi-use chairs will give Trinity a fully flexible and multi-purpose space that functions not only for worship, but for a variety of ministry and community events. (See the above picture of Trinity's new cathedral chairs which arrived the week before Christmas.)

The success of Transforming Trinity and the Pews to Chairs project depends on the donation of chairs by cathedral parishioners, congregations, and individuals across The Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida and the wider Church. Chairs may be donated in honor of or in memory of a loved one or in honor of a specific church, congregation, or organization. Please consider donating one or more chairs!

To donate: Please download the chair donation form HERE, complete it, and make your check payable to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Please make sure to write “Pews to Chairs” in the memo line. Mail checks and forms to: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16th Street, Miami, FL 33132.

Online donations can also be made on the Cathedral website (www.trinitymiami.org) under the “Giving” tab – please be sure to choose the “Pews to Chairs Campaign” on the dropdown menu to designate your donation.

Please reach out to Father Jason by email at frjason@trinitymiami.org if you have any questions or concerns. You can also find more details about the Pews to Chairs project HERE.

Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

Can you recall a time in your life when all seemed lost, yet God drew near?

The Book of Job outlines the tragedy of Job, who has lost everything dear to him, everything he loves, everything that is meaningful and real in his world. Even worse, it seems arbitrary, a cruel destruction that he did not deserve. His friends come by and question and provoke, trying to understand what might have caused this. Job cries out to God, wishing to die. How could a loving God, a caring God, a creating God witness such destruction? They all desperately try to make sense of what feels absolutely senseless.
