The Diocese of Virginia consists of over 180 congregations divided into 14 regions. It extends from Alexandria to the James River, and from the mountains to the Bay.
Every year there is a meeting of the Bishops with representatives from each congregation.
All clergy and at least one lay delegate from each parish attend. With Bishops Clayton Mathews and David Colin Jones in attendance, the 103rd Annual Council was called to order on Friday, February 6 by The Rt. Rev. Peter James Lee. This format was used throughout the Council and helped us focus on our common bond in our Savior Jesus Christ. In addition to reports from committees, workshops, discussion groups and socializing, Council business includes elections and appointments to committees and positions within the diocese.
