The 142nd annual convention of the Diocese of Pittsburgh will be held in Johnstown, Pa., on November 2 and 3. The Friday session will be held at the Frank J. Pasquerilla Convention Center. The Saturday session will be held at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. The convention is being asked to approve constitutional and canonical changes that would, allegedly, eventually remove it from The Episcopal Church.
