If you are interested in following the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, there is a live running blog - http://episcopalri.blogspot.com/ - by Father Scott Gunn. Before he was ordained Father Scott was the organist at the Church of the Ascension on Pontiac Avenue in Cranston.
The U.S. Episcopal Church faces a fractious debate this week over the controversy caused by the consecration of the church's first openly gay bishop, which has rubbed raw relations with fellow Anglicans world wide.
The Church leadership has crafted proposals it believes will address concerns within the 2.3 million member U.S. church and from abroad.
Note that the Episcopal meeting is not the only national church gathering taking place this week. There is the Southern Baptist Convention, the Presbyterian Church General Assembly, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops meets this week.
*** UPDATE ***
Episcopalians elect first female leader!
