Diocese of Pittsburgh 2008 Annual Convention

 

The 143rd annual convention of the Diocese of Pittsburgh will be held October 4 at St. Martin's, Monroeville. The convention is to vote on whether to "realign," that is, to leave The Episcopal Church and become part of the Southern Cone. PEP believes such a move to be beyond the power of the convention to enact.
