Monica Mainwaring
Rector
St. Martin in the Fields

As second clergy alternate to the last General Convention, which took place summer 2022 due to Covid-19, I attended preparatory zooms and did my homework, but was unable to attend – there was a restriction on numbers, downsizing as a health precaution. I would count it a privilege to represent the Diocese of Atlanta at the next General Convention.
