Seeing on the Lambeth website that only 464 of approx 650 bishops present voted in any way on the Mission & Evangelism Call. Curious about that. #LambethConference https://t.co/zJ7tbFzKdf

A powerful moment in the HoB for continued prayer and reflection. #GC80

#GC80 El proceso presupuestario es arduo, pero propuestas como ésta facilitan el trabajo de la Convención General y dan más voz a las partes del presupuesto que tienen mayor impacto en la iglesia y en el mundo. https://t.co/kaBY26GVAY

[Eileen O'Brien @EileenEOBrien]

Thankful for the creative power of awkward moments that lead to sharing of hearts and minds in the HoB. Fear not. #GC80

"Instead of framing generational transitions as a power struggle, we must embrace the opportunity for inter-generational collaboration." #GC80

A helpful resource raised in the HoB conversation about how we speak in this time of polarization and fragmentation: https://t.co/cg1UTRMWNj. #GC80

Get ready for a Mind of the House statement coming out of the HoB tomorrow. Love the collaborative spirit! #GC80

Loved this reflection from Marcia Quintanilla on the election of Julia Ayala Harris. #GC80

What a great discussion about liturgy and life together in the HoB! #GC80

[Eileen O'Brien @EileenEOBrien]

@frcramer Here's how I understand the difference: It's clear about the changes needed to the Constitution and the changes needed to the Canons in a way that B011 is not. #GC80

Timeline: First Reading on Constitutional Amendment 2022; Second Reading on Constitutional Amendment and approval of attendant canons 2024. #GC80

[Eileen O'Brien @EileenEOBrien]

HoB is taking some time to consider a new substitute for A059. The substitute gets the Constitutional revision requisite for Prayer Book revision in this new time moving. #GC80

[Eileen O'Brien @EileenEOBrien]

The A059 substitute also commits us to doing the work of canonical revision to provide for a clearer process for the curation of liturgical resources and a process for revision in light of our understanding of what the Prayer Book is. #GC80

[The Consultation @theconsultation]

Also congratulations to new Executive Council lay members Dianne Audrick Smith, Sandra Montes, Joe McDaniel, Annette Buchanan, Scott Haight, and Tivaun Cooper, and clergy members Charles Graves and Deborah Jackson. What an exciting day for the church! 💜 #GC80
