The Episcopal Church is meeting this month for the triennial General Convention. All manners of polity and procedures, not to mention social justice attitudes, are determined at this gathering. While only some of it is relevant to the folks in the pews, it is revered as the apex of pureness promotion in our particular, and fleeting, brand of Protestantism.
The best part, you ask? All of the convention delegates, organizational representatives, and other worshipful attendees travel from all over the United States and its various territories by car and, particularly, jet airplane to meet in a vast, air-conditioned center in Texas. In July.
A featured topic? How the church can be more environmentally sensitive.
Good use of resources, don't you think? As is often noted on social media: I'll consider the environment dire when the people who tell me it's dire start acting like it.
