Bishop Deon Johnson and 11 lay and clergy members will be heading to Louisville, Kentucky, to represent the Diocese of Missouri at the 81st General Convention of The Episcopal Church. Events begin Saturday, June 22 and run through Friday, June 28 (see the full schedule).

The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church. Every three years it meets as a bicameral legislature that includes the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops, composed of deputies and bishops from each diocese.

GC81 will include elections for Presiding Bishop and President of the House of Deputies, along with daily worship services and legislative sessions. Love. Always., an Episcopal Revival and Learning Party featuring Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will kick off the festivities on Saturday, June 22.
