DIOCESAN CONVENTION WORKSHOPS
Panel Discussion: Christian Nationalism
Convention attendees have the opportunity to join Bishop Susan Brown Snook, Brother Keith Warner, the dean and president of the Franciscan School of Theology, and Dr. Jennifer Guerra Aldana, Assistant Professor of Christian Ministry and Practice at Point Loma Nazarene University, for a panel discussion on Christian Nationalism. Together, they will explore the relationship between Christian faith and political identity, examine the challenges Christian Nationalism presents to our country, and consider how Episcopalians are called to respond.
Panel Discussion: Episcopal Community Services (ECS) and 100 years
As Episcopal Community Services (ECS) prepares to celebrate 100 years of service in San Diego in 2027, Convention attendees will have the opportunity to join ECS leaders and community partners for a panel discussion about the pressing needs facing our region. Drawing on a century of experience serving vulnerable neighbors, the panel will explore the challenges of homelessness, mental health, poverty, and access to essential services. Together, they will consider how these needs are changing, what ECS is learning through its work, and how congregations can respond with compassion and meaningful action. As our diocese prepares for the 2027 Year of Service, this conversation will invite participants to reflect on how the Church can deepen its partnerships and more faithfully serve the communities around us.
