Getting organized and "waging reconciliation" was on the agenda as the newly created Episcopal Majority met for the first time November 3 to become advocates for a moderate voice within the Anglican Communion.
"We need to wage reconciliation, to constantly work for dialogue and conversation, reaching out and touching others who are different than us," Bishop Jon Bruno of Los Angeles told the gathering during a keynote address frequently interrupted by appreciative applause.
...The national gathering was planned to coincide with Jefferts Schori's November 4 investiture. She did not attend the gathering "but sent us her blessing and said we have her support and that this is an important meeting," the Rev. David Fly, an event organizer from Missouri, told the audience.
...About 150 participants from 46 dioceses, including several network dioceses, attended workshops on the Anglican covenant, how to communicate with one another, how to be a reconciling force amid the changing landscape of the Anglican Communion, and legal issues arising from the conflict within the church.
