The 193rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia met at the Jekyll Island Convention Center and, for Eucharist and a dinner on the grounds and concert, at Honey Creek. The convention received reports, passed a budget for 2015, a canonical change on investments for mission congregations and a resolution commending Deaconess Alexander to churchwide recognition as a saint.
