205th Annual Convention
The 205th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina was rescheduled for March 6, 2021, as a safety precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic. We gathered beginning at 11 am in the parking lot of the Friday Center at Chapel Hill. Attendees remained in their vehicles, we broadcast via FM radio, and voting took place by honking of horns.

NOVEMBER 2020 ONLINE CELEBRATION
Thank you for joining us! On November 21, 2020, the Diocese hosted an online gathering to celebrate all that has happened in our churches and ministries throughout the year and look ahead at the year to come. It was a wonderful day, both in the "Zoom room" and with all the folks watching and interacting online. It was truly a celebration, with a feeling throughout the day of connection, fellowship, excitement and a presence of the Holy Spirit. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen!
If you weren't able to join us, please enjoy the video recordings from throughout the day:
