The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church. It is a triennial meeting with a bicameral legislature, the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops, and the membership of each house is outlined in Article I of the Constitution and Canons of The Episcopal Church.
The House of Bishops meets twice a year, and Bishop Shannon is an active member.
The House of Deputies meets only during the General Convention, and each diocese is represented by eight elected deputies, four clergy and four lay. The Diocese of Vermont’s next deputation will be elected at the upcoming diocesan convention. Learn more.
