Pre-Convention Meetings (2023) | Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina

Pre-Convention Meetings by Zoom for All Members of the Diocese of East Carolina

To assist all delegates in their preparations for Diocesan Convention and to encourage all members of the Diocese to learn a little more about our common life and ministry, we are offering an online pre-Convention orientation meeting on four different days ahead of Convention.

At each online meeting, we will:

offer an overview of Convention
have a look at the agenda for February 10th and 11th
review East Carolina’s mission priorities and some of our progress thus far
consider resolutions that have been submitted and nominations that have been made
introduce the proposed budget for 2023.

Members of the diocese are welcome to attend any one of these four online meetings, to be hosted by Bishop Skirving:

2pm on Thursday, January 26th
7pm on Thursday, February 2nd
2pm on Friday, February 3rd
4pm on Sunday, February 5th

Please note: Zoom links will be provided on this page on the day of the meeting. On the day of the meeting, return to this page and click the link button for the meeting at its appointed time. We will also send out an email through our News & Notes mailing list including the meeting link on the day of the meeting.

Deanery Plans

In years past, these pre-Convention meetings have been hosted as in-person gatherings in each of our five deaneries. This year, the deaneries and the diocese have collaborated to offer a variety of options, as detailed below:

Members of Albemarle Deanery are invited to gather for an in-person meeting at Christ Church, Elizabeth City beginning at 3pm on Sunday, January 22nd.
Members of Pamlico Deanery are invited to gather in-person at St. Timothy’s, Greenville on Thursday, January 26th to join with others from across the diocese for the 2pm online meeting.
Members of Trinity Deanery are invited to gather in person at St. Mary’s, Kinston on Friday, February 3rd to join with others from across the diocese for the 2pm online meeting.
Members of Upper Cape Fear Deanery and Lower Cape Fear Deanery are invited to join in on whichever of the online meetings is best for them.
