Bishop Waynick has received a letter from The Rev. Dr. Gregory Straub, Executive Officer and Secretary of the General Convention informing us that the Diocese of Indianapolis has been selected as the host for the 77th General Convention to be held in 2012. The GC will be held in Indianapolis.  The Joint Standing Committee on Planning and Arrangements has made the recommendation to the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Houses of General Convention and the Presidents of the Provinces seeking their affirmation of the selection. Executive Council will vote on the recommendation at the upcoming meeting in Ohio.

This will be an exciting time for us and there will be a TREMENDOUS amount of planning and work to be done.  Expect to hear a lot from a soon to be formed Planning Committee, asking for volunteers for the countless committees that will be required to make this undertaking as memorable as the GC we hosted in 1994, and for interesting things we might do for our guests from around the Church.

From Dr. Straub's letter: "The committee was favorably impressed by the enthusiasm of the Diocese of Indianapolis for hosting Convention and by the layout of the Convention Center and its proximity to meeting space and hotel rooms, together with Indianapolis' commitment to enhanced air access.  There is no question Indianapolis is an attractive venue."

More will be coming as we make our plans for this great event.
