DWTX from Anaheim – In a morning press briefing on Friday, July 10, Bishop Gary Lillibridge voiced his opinion that whatever happens at General Convention, it needs to be done with “the other” in mind. Picking up on the theme of the third General Convention day, “Belonging to Each Other,” Lillibridge said, “I would hope that when people express themselves, they will be heard.”
Calling on one of his favorite passages from Galatians (6:2), Lillibridge said we need to find a way to “bear one another’s burdens.” We have to figure out as a church, he said, how we can bear one another’s burdens and work through our different perspectives.
Press briefings are held twice a day at General Convention, morning and evening, with two bishops and three deputies responding to the press. Lillibridge was invited to participate in both sessions on July 10. The briefings are streamed live on The Episcopal Church Media Hub at http://gchub.episcopalchurch.org/.
