November 16-17, 2018
“Faith, Hope, and Love”

The Annual Convention of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina was held at the Church of the Holy Communion in Charleston, South Carolina on November 16-17, 2018. Our theme was “Faith, Hope, and Love.”

We were delighted to have Becca Stevens, an Episcopal priest, social entrepreneur, speaker and author, as our convention speaker and workshop leader. The founder and president of Thistle Farms, a global community of survivors of trafficking and addiction that includes justice enterprises, she is widely honored her for work as an entrepreneur and justice advocate.

See a photo album of the workshops and keynote presentation here.
