Bishops are the only persons allowed to wear a Pectoral Cross with Chain (Gold or Silver). Overseers, Adjutant-Overseers, Adjutants, Administrative Assistants, and other Clergy are restricted to the Nylon Cords and Silver Cross of their distinctive offices. Episcopal Ring and Wedding Rings are the only rings permissible during the Congress. Costume jewelry is not in order and small pearl, gold or silver studs are the only earrings permitted (on females ONLY) while in Tonsorial or Sacred Vestments.

Wednesday Evening is the most formal service of the College.

 

Divine Liturgy and the Annual Sermon is delivered by an invited guest of the Chief - Servant. The uniform for that service is Choir Dress for Bishops and Overseers; Cassock and Surplice for Ordained Elders; and Alb with Deacon's Stole for Ordained Deacons. The Annual Processional will begin at Half Past Six o'clock in the Post Meridian (P.M.) and all credentialed delegates are expected to be in place at the hour of worship.

 

When you register for the Convocation, please make certain that you let us know your rank in the Church so that your badge can be printed correctly. Be prepared to prove your office if questioned and remember that you will not be allowed into any of the sessions without having been registered. There will be registration-on-site for those who might be running late, but that will be limited to the very few.

We pray that you will find yourself in God's favor and blessings in this ensuing year. Know of our love and respect for you in the Lord's work and be assured of our continued prayers.

 

With all due respect to all others, we have no time for foolishness as we are dealing with each others living breathing lives, though in this season many have become wanton with foolish dealings with their brother/sister in the body of our Lord...
