Episcopal
73rd General Convention in Denver
July 6, 2000
"Communion
is God's deepest desire for us. Communion is to go home."
--
Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold
This
was our Jubilee Morning, a time of reflection and release in
the midst of the work of the convention.
The morning Eucharist began as usual with the Ministry of
the Word, but after Bp. Griswold's meditation, there was an
hour and a half of free time, in which we were urged to give
ourselves space and silence to "Let the Spirit Speak."
People spoke quietly with friends, walked outdoors, stood
at the windows of the Convention Center that look west toward
the mountains, walked the labyrinth--or just sat in silence.
After the "Jubilee" time, the Eucharist continued,
and deputies left for their various meetings of the day.
