Following a decision by the Joint Standing Committee on Planning and Arrangements, the General Convention Office has announced that the legislative days of the 82nd General Convention of The Episcopal Church will be Saturday, July 3, to Thursday, July 8, 2027. Bishops and deputies will be asked to arrive in Phoenix, Arizona, the site of the convention, by June 30 for preparatory meetings on July 1 and 2.

The committee, in collaboration with the General Convention Reinvention Steering Committee appointed by Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe and House of Deputies President Julia Ayala Harris, is continuing to plan for an innovative convention that will include legislative sessions, time for worship, and collective discernment on key issues facing the church.

The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church. Every three years it meets as a bicameral legislature that includes the House of Deputies and House of Bishops, composed of deputies and bishops from each diocese. Learn more.
