General Convention 2009
The 76th General Convention July 8�17, 2009 in Anaheim, California.
 
Introduction to General Convention
by Gregory Straub, Executive Officer and Secretary of General Convention
With few precedents for a republican form of church governance the first General Convention met in 1785 in Philadelphia. That convention began work on a constitution and a revision of the Book of Common Prayer, the church�s book of worship. Within ten years the General Convention had agreed on its form of governance and its pattern of worship, both of which endure to the present day.
