241st Convention of the Episcopal Church in CT
Presiding Bishop Jeff Mello:
"The Episcopal Church in Connecticut are faithful followers of Jesus Christ who are Growing in Faith, Living in Hope, and Serving in Love. That is who we are, and this is exactly the time for which the Episcopal Church in Connecticut was made. Now, let’s go tell everyone!"

Gail Bindley-Taylor:
"Over the two-day period, business sessions alternated with presentations from Church leaders...But Convention was not only about business and resolutions. It was also about worship, fellowship, and joy. The beautiful liturgy, the shared Eucharist, and the sound of 500 voices lifted in hymn—from the lilting Spanish melodies to the familiar a cappella “Amen”—created moments of deep connection".

Serafino Carri:
"This is my first time attending as an official delegate from St. Paul's. I found it very interesting and engaging. It's where the Episcopal churches from our state of CT come together to understand and vote on key policies affecting all our parishes. The atmosphere was very constructive and exemplary as a forum of policy and hopefulness going forward. I would encourage others to participate as a delegate in the future, to learn more about policy, and most importantly its messaging for our conduct as a church."
