Keeping Up with the General Convention

Mississippi News

. June 23, 2009

As the General Convention convenes in Anaheim, those keeping track of the Convention will be able to access continuous information from several sources. In order to follow, watch, and understand what is happening at the General Convention, the Episcopal Church Office of Communications has created a Media Hub designed to deliver comprehensive coverage of the convention.

The hub will utilize cutting edge technology to deliver information via the Episcopal News Service (ENS), the church’s primary and official source for news (www.episcopalchurch.org/ens.htm). Information can also be viewed via internet videos, blogs, the instant message social networking site Twitter, and the photo viewing site Flickr. Live video streams from daily media briefings and other convention events will also be accessible on the ENS, including excerpts from some sermons and daily Eucharist services. The Mississippi diocesan website (www.dioms.org) will provide the link to the ENS site.

Other reliable information sources for coverage of the General Convention include The Anglicans Online news page (www.anglicansonline.org/news/index.html) and the Anglican Communion News Service which can be accessed via the Episcopal Church website (www.episcopalchurch.org). Selected sites will offer news in Spanish.
