Diocesan Convention 2025

TO THE CLERGY AND ELECTED LAY DELEGATES OF OUR 43rd ANNUAL DIOCESAN CONVENTION:

The Convention theme is: “And the Second is Like Unto It…” — a reminder of our shared call to live out the Great Commandments.

The Convention will begin on Friday, November 14, with the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist at Church of the Holy Apostles, Fort Worth, at 5:00 PM. A portion of the offering will benefit the Centurion Program in the Diocese of Northern Malawi.

Please consider bringing a non perishable food items to the opening Eucharist.  Holy Apostles partners with Westaid to serve the needy on the West side of Fort Worth.   Items can be dropped off in the parish hall across from the nave.  

Following the service, a reception and seated dinner will be held at Ridglea Country Club, 3700 Bernie Anderson Rd., Fort Worth.

Convention continues at Ridglea Country Club on Saturday, November 15, with registration at 7:45 a.m. and Morning Prayer at 8:30 a.m.

All business materials will be posted on this page prior to the Fall Deanery Meetings.

We look forward to gathering together in Christ’s name with joy and gratitude for all that God is doing through His Church throughout our Diocese.

The Rt. Rev. Ryan S. Reed
