The Episcopal General Convention is reputedly the largest legislative body in the world, with over 1000 bishops and deputies in attendance. The House of Bishops corresponds roughly to the Senate, and the House of Deputies corresponds to the House of Representatives in the US Congress. Many of the same men wrote the constitutions for both bodies.
NOTE: Latest items are posted first.

Thursday 7/17 - Archbishop Cary & English Synod on homosexuality - Also appended is Carey's speech to the General Convention - where he betrays the objectivity of truth for the sake of collegiality.
Nothing much reported on the first day (Wednesday) of Gen Con so far. Vigorous discussion and testimony on homosexual unions and ordination at relevant committees.
7/12/97 - I will be at General Convention from Sunday, July 20th on, but news and commentary will be posted as soon as the convention begins.
This convention promises to hold many surprises -- perhaps one of them the Biblically rooted Christians standing up and drawing clear lines - at any cost.
(These sites are not "pre-approved", so, as to theological reliability, you will have to sort them out yourselves....)
AAC - American Anglican Council - an attempt to unite the Biblical based Episcopal ministries into a cohesive body for action at General Convention. May have Gen Con info on their site.
