What happens at General Convention?
The legislative process of General Convention is an expression of The Episcopal Church’s belief that, under God, the Church is ordered and governed by its people: laity, deacons, priests, and bishops.
The General Convention is the Church’s highest temporal authority. As such, it has the following power:
- Amend the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church
- Amend the Book of Common Prayer and to authorize other liturgical texts
- Adopt the budget for the Church
- Create covenants and official relationships with other branches of the Church
- Determine requirements for its clergy and other leaders
- Elect its officers, members of the Executive Council, and certain other groups
- Delegate responsibilities to the Interim Bodies of The Episcopal Church
- Carry out various other responsibilities and authority
Church of the Redeemer
Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
