General Convention Recap: A New Presiding Bishop | |
Read Bishop Eaton's reflection on General Convention here.
The 81st General Convention of the Episcopal Church met in Louisville, KY this past week from June 23 – 28. The House of Bishops met in executive session Wednesday morning at Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral and elected the Right Reverend Sean Rowe, Bishop of the Episcopal Dioceses of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Western New York, as the next Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. The election was then confirmed by the House of Deputies during its afternoon session that same day. Read more about Bishop Rowe and the election here.
| The 26th, 28th, and 27th Presiding Bishops of the Episcopal Church (left to right): The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts-Schori, the Right Reverend Sean Rowe, and the Most Reverend Michael Curry | Presiding Bishop Michael Curry completes his 9-year term on October 31st, and Bishop Rowe will begin on November 1st. Bishop Curry was honored at General Convention, and the Union of Black Episcopalians hosted a special banquet as a tribute to his ministry as Presiding Bishop. We join together with the entire Episcopal Church in thanksgiving for his life and ministry. Read more about honoring Bishop Curry here. | |
Bishop Eaton and our diocesan deputation representing the Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida traveled to Louisville to take part in the work of this important triennial convention. Also in attendance were Bishop Greg Rickel (Assisting Bishop of Southeast Florida), Bishop Leo Frade (III Bishop of Southeast Florida), Bishop James Ottley (V Bishop of Panama), their spouses, and other visitors from congregations and communities around our diocese and Southeast Florida. | |
|
The important legislative work of General Convention included resolutions and votes on a variety of issues ranging from the Book of Common Prayer, the war in the Holy Land, Church-wide spending and budgets, climate change and creation care, and many other social justice and U.S. policy-related issues. A full list of the resolutions can be found HERE, and summaries of many of the legislative decisions, committee deliberations, and conversations can be found HERE.
The 82nd General Convention Episcopal Church will be held in the summer of 2027 in Phoenix, Arizona. This is a very exciting and important time of transition for the Episcopal Church, and we pray for Bishop Curry and Bishop Rowe during the coming months.

Remember that we cannot accept expired food or items that need refrigeration.

"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.

When has your hope in God been affirmed?
| |
|
Sometimes, it’s easy to inure ourselves to death. In a society that, by and large, has dispensed with communal mourning traditions, we tend to grieve privately and, as a result, quickly. Combine this with long diseases and correspondingly long treatments, and we might be tempted to move on as quickly as possible, lest we be thought of as wallowing. And after all, we all must know by now that death awaits us, right? Maybe it’s best that we get comfortable with it.
