The 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church meet in Anaheim, California,
between July 8th and 17th, 2009. General Convention considers
legislation, national church policy, provides a forum for various church
organizations to meet and recruit members, and fosters collaboration and sharing
of ideas between representatives of far-flung dioceses and congregations.
Transfiguration volunteered, visited and worship during its time here.
