Well then, you're in luck!  Here is the "Cliff Notes" version....along with some commentary!

Welcome to the blog of the Diocese of Connecticut's deputation to the Episcopal Church's General Convention.

General Convention will convene in Indianapolis July 5th-July 12th, 2012.  More updates will be posted here by deputation members as we draw nearer to that time.

In the meantime, here are some links to helpful information:

The Blue Book, which contains the reports to General Convention of the Committees, Commissions, Agencies, and Boards, can be downloaded as a free pdf file here:

As additional resolutions are submitted by bishops, deputies, and dioceses, they are being posted here:

The Deputies have been discussing many important issues on the Deputies Online Forum.  While only deputies can comment on these discussions, anyone is able to read them:
