Welcome to The Daily Wrap

Check out these daily video news summaries from the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church. I would have put them all together on a page of the Diocese of Maine's wordpress blog, Mainers in Anaheim or on our diocesan website, but blogger was the only place I could make the embed code work, so here it is. (TMI I know, but, well, that's why the separate blog - though God certainly knows the Episco-world doesn't need another blog.)
My Mom, Audrey Stukey

Mostly I've posted them here - as well as several other interviews from Anaheim and a few of my favorite GC sermons - so I can show my mom, Audrey, who's 85 and can't quite navigate the Media Hub. But, if this is helpful for you as a one-stop nutshell of the GC experience, I am most pleased.

For detailed news about convention visit Episcopal Life Online or Episcopal Cafe. And my friend Karin Hamilton with the Diocese of Connecticut has an excellent legislation tracker over here.

So, Hello! and Welcome to the Daily Wrap!

Jim Dela's Convention Wrap-Up

My friend Jim Dela from the Diocese of Southwest Florida offers this wrapped-up gift. Now I know why you were taking pictures of the escalators on the last day.

I believe the Lord condones resting on Day 5 of General Convention if it happens to be a Sunday. Squeezed about 75 minutes of pool time before HOD went in session to consider D025.

Here's Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's excellent sermon from the Convention Eucharist.
