This weekend, we represented our church at the 42nd Annual Convention of The Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. It was our third time attending as a delegate. This is a gathering to discuss and conduct the business of our larger community of churches. It was a great time to learn more about how to be better Episcopalians and to connect with others who are doing the same. I was blessed to be there and to reunite with friends and to meet new people. One of the group meetings I was encouraged to be more weird in church, This is easy for a church nerd like me. It was a lot of fun and I hope I can go back next year. Thanks to the Episcopal School of Knoxville for hosting again.

Church On Zoom
Because of the Winter weather threat in the area, my church went on Zoom to have morning prayer. It turned out that the situation was not as serious as it could have been. This was reminiscent of the COVID era when everything was virtual. Thanks to technology, it’s good to have this option when necessary. It keeps some level of routine and connection with the Divine and community. Thanks to Fr. Drew and Deacon Kelly for making this happen this morning.

East Tennessee Episcopal Convention 2025
Each February the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee holds its annual convention. This year it was held at the Episcopal School of Knoxville. This event is where delegates from its member churches gather to renew friendships, make connections, and conduct business. My wife and I with our friend Tammy and our priest Fr. Drew were in attendance to represent our parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. It was good to get away overnight too. Here are a few snaps of our time there.
ARTificial Intelligent Creations
I am not an artist so I used Microsoft’s AI Image Creator tools to generate these images. It speaks to the nerd/geek that I am. Church, rocket ships, time travel, the geek world, professional wrestling, and Linux are all in my interests.
