Annual Convention

Audio of the Rev. Thomas L. Brackett, Officer for Church Planting and Ministry Redevelopment at the Episcopal Church Center, preaching at the Opening Eucharist at the 138th Annual Convention on January 27, 2012.

A feature of Annual Convention is the "Mission Minutes" videos, describing some of the mission work going on in our congregations. For the 2012 Convention, the Mission Minutes were framed by the question, "What does living into Christ's mission look like?" Nine churches, or groups of churches, responded. Watch the videos below.

The assignment from God to the prophet Jeremiah is a tough one. God asks, no God tells Jeremiah, that he has a prophetic sermon to preach: to “pluck up, tear down, overthrow and destroy – in order to build and plant.”
