A pastoral word to The Episcopal Church from the September 2026 gathering of the House of BishopsThe bishops of The Episcopal Church gathered from Sept. 22-28, 2026, at Camp Allen Conference Center in Navasota, Texas. Our gathering included 118 bishops and bishops-elect, representing 93 dioceses and special ministries across 17 countries and territories.

We leave this meeting with deepened relationships and renewed commitments to the ministry we share in Jesus Christ.
