THE GENERAL CONVENTION of the Episcopal Church July 8 - 17, 2009, Anaheim, CA   Please pray for our deputies from the Diocese of Central Florida as well as our Bishop, the Rt. Rev. John W. Howe.   Almighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it;
