A Tour Through the Exhibit Hall

Before some members of our deputation became enmeshed in the chaotic life that General Convention becomes over time, we visited the colourful and inspiring Exhibit Hall, on the same corridor as the House of Deputies. In addition to information booths associated with seminaries, ministries and missions, and enterprises, there are lovely wares on display, created in support of good causes across the church international. (When time permits, links to their websites will be added.)

It is a wonderful and inspiring place to purchase gifts to take home, and souvenirs of General Convention.

  1. The exhibits are one of two things for which I'd darken the door of GC. I'd enjoy the liturgies even more. Otherwise, I'm staying put. I hope all of you enjoy it ALL!
