At every General Convention, the host Diocese sponsors an entertainment or activity that represents the culture and community of their location.
The Diocese of Utah invited us to the Mormon Temple grounds and the Tabernacle for a special concert. The heat of the evening meant that we spent very little time exploring the outdoors!
Inside, we first heard a group of drummers, followed by a welcome by Episcopal Bishop Hayashi of Utah, and the head of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Then we were treated to a multitude of performers: singers, dancers, choirs, instrumentalists, performing as representatives of the region. The concert closed with hymns and patriotic songs.
