Has the HOD ever rejected an election?

Do you know if multiple rounds is pretty common? Is there an average of many rounds it has taken in the modern era?

It is sad. We have created a system building up church structures at the expense of the local faith community. In a few years the Episcopal Church is going to be a few churches with an endowment.

We hold to baptism before communion and seeing those who come up week after week for a blessing, waiting for their baptism, makes their communion even more emotional.

I hope you are ok. Be vigilant for a few days as hematomas can take a few days to develop.

Some churches were celebrating the 1st Sunday of Advent.
