Part of the redesign of the Via Media USA Web site is the introduction of blog. The immediate rationale for adding a blog is to facilitate reporting and commentary by members of Via Media groups who will be attending the 2009 General Convention in Anaheim, California. We hope, however, that the blog will have enduring utility as a place where Episcopalians from different dioceses can discuss issues of mutual concern regarding the theology, polity, mission, worship, and health of The Episcopal Church.

We invite readers to join in the discussion. You can post comments after creating an account for yourself. It will be helpful if you use your actual name as your username when you sign up for an account. In any case, we ask that all comments be signed with your name, your diocese, and, if you are a member of a Via Media group, the name of that group.

Welcome to the discussion!
