Encountering Jesus in the Garden:
The 112th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia

October 21-22 | Hilton Seattle Airport & Virtually

Water. Soil. Seeds. Growth. As the seasons change, as the fruit within our own hearts and communities begin to ripen and mature, Jesus calls on us to encounter him in the garden. As we look for ways to heal our planet, to heal our relationship to creation and become faithful stewards of this place we call home, Jesus calls on us to encounter him in the garden. And as we celebrate our rich and vibrant legacy while looking ahead to a new and ever changing future, the risen Christ calls on us to encounter him in the garden.

On October 21-22, the 112th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia was held in-person at the Hilton Seattle Airport (for those able to attend physically) and online via our virtual event platform (for those with medical vulnerabilities, disabilities, or other limitations that prevent them from attending in-person). This was a time for us to gather for workshops and worship, and a time for us to do the work of the diocese – a time for us to encounter our risen Savior in the garden.
