General Convention, 2000

This page is a collections of links to Web resources on the 2000 General Convention, which was July 5-14 in Denver, Colorado. Unlike the last General Convention, there is good Web coverage of the Denver event, and the National Church is hosting a number of excellent pages. Because of that, this page will not be as extensive as it was three years ago. Fortunately, that isn't necessary this time. The pages should be up and available for some time after Convention is over.

First Hand Reports

• Anglicans Online General Convention 2000 Newscenter is a wonderful assortment of news and links from around the Communion, including a good collection of Special Interest Groups News and Reports. The is the best single place to go for information.

• Northwest Texas Voices from Convention. These are  reports to the Diocese from our people at Convention. They will be posted without editing as they arrive.

• The Convention Daily is a daily newspaper distributed at Convention and on the internet. It is an official publication of Episcopal Life, the Church's monthly magazine. It published daily from the 6th through the 14th.

Official Sites:

• The Home Page of the General Convention is a new site with all sort of links and news about Convention. This is the place to start, and the only link most of us will need. It contains most of the links mentioned in the section above.

• The Website of the General Convention is another good  place to start for Official information. This useful site contains numerous links to Convention-related materials. It will continue to grow as the Convention approaches. It also contains a list of nominees for positions that will be elected at the Convention.

• The Blue Book, which contains all of the reports, resolutions, and most everything else covered at Convention is available through Church Publishing.  The reports are in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, and a you can download Acrobat from the site if you don't have it.

These are all part of the Official Website of the Episcopal Church.

News Services whose reports tend to be trustworthy include:

• Episcopal New Service There should be good coverage both before and during Convention.
• Anglican Communion News Service
• E-Mail Subscriptions to either or both of these services are available at no cost.

Some Unofficial Sources for information include:

• The News Centre-a part of Anglicans Online will cover a variety of issues throughout the Communion. As Convention nears, there will be additional information about specific issues. 

• The General Convention Pages of Louie Crew contain a wealth of data about Convention and its Deputies, as well as links to many other sites that are related. Dr. Louie Crew is a rather controversial churchman whose meticulousness is disputed by no one.
