Your ECCT bishops and elected deputies have traveled to Baltimore, Maryland to consider and vote on resolutions that affect our common life. They'll also be voting on new leadership for the House of Deputies, adopt a budget, and amend the Constitution and Canons. We begin with a bit of fun as the deputation gathers Thursday night in Baltimore for dinner.
