General Convention 2009

Thanks to many generous donations from our members, ENAW had a booth and was a presence and witness for God's creatures at the Episcopal Church's 76th General Convention in Anaheim.

The two animal related Resolutions that we were praying and advocating for both passed, thanks be to God!

D015: Humane & Merciful Treatment of All God's Creatures
Resolution D015

and
C078 Liturgy For Loss of Companion Animal
Resolution C078

The ENAW Prayer for General Convention 2009
Most merciful Creator, we pray for your Holy Spirit's presence at the 76th General Convention. Fill the hearts of all those who attend with a sense of holy compassion and mercy for all your creatures. Give the Church a new sense of ministry and responsibility for your world and all the creatures entrusted to our care at creation. May your will be done and may you be glorified. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
