As we prepare for the Episcopal Church’s 80th General Convention, being held July 7 - 14 in Baltimore, Maryland, we invite you to get to know the Deputies who will be representing The Episcopal Church of New Hampshire.
Next up, we have Bobbi Beavers.
How many years have you attended General Convention (as deputy or otherwise)?
This will be my first General Convention.
Why do you enjoy being a deputy to General Convention?
I am learning so much about the most important problems and issues the church is working to study and find/implement solutions that honor our baptismal covenant.
What committees, if any, are you sitting on this year?
I am observing LC09-Racial Justice and Reconciliation and LC20-Environmental Stewardship and Care of Creation.
What are you looking forward to the most in Baltimore?
Meeting fellow Episcopalians from all over the world and learning how the governance of The Episcopal Church works, along with daily worship. Although I am totally new to The Episcopal Church governance at this level, I was a State Representative in the Maine Legislature from 2010 to 2016.
I am lucky to be traveling from Manchester with my current and former rectors from St. Thomas' in Dover, the Revs. Sue Poulin and Gail Avery.
