Reunion
A high point for both Houses of General Convention was the votes to confirm the reunion of the Episcopal Church of North Texas, formerly, the Diocese of Fort Worth, with the Diocese of Texas. Emotional unanimous votes in both Houses ended in standing ovations and cheers. In the House of Deputies both deputations were invited by President Gay Jennings onto the platform for the vote. In the House of Bishops, North Texas Bishop Provisional Scott Mayer joined bishops Andy Doyle, Jeff Fisher, Kai Ryan, and Hector Monterroso as all were invited onto the platform by Presiding Bishop Curry for the vote. Reports are that there wasn’t a dry eye in either House.
