House of Deputies celebrates its 230th birthday



With noisemakers and applause, party hat-wearing General Convention deputies celebrated the 230th birthday of the House of Deputies on June 27. While members of the House of Bishops met in sequestration at St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral a few blocks away to elect the next Episcopal Church presiding bishop, members of the first house of General Convention took time out from legislative debate to celebrate its history and honor several of its former leaders.
