What is it?General Convention is the triennial legislative gathering of The Episcopal Church and many of its national and global partners. The triennial gathering of Episcopal Church Women also takes place concurrently.
About 3,500 participate in the event and several thousand others will visit at some point to take part in activities ranging from worship, to exhibit hall time, to organizational dinners and special programs. In addition to being a time devoted to legislative matters such as study, discussion, and voting, General Convention is also like a big family reunion. Seminaries and colleges host alumni gatherings; national organizations hold luncheons, dinners, or award presentations; and groups of friends from across the country and around the world gather to renew friendships.
