BREAKING NEWS: 7WD EXCLUSIVE
In an earlier post, I wondered if the President of the House of Deputies would preside in academic regalia. The House has convened for orientation, and I am delighted to report that President Bonnie Anderson is presiding in a doctoral gown!
The gown itself is black, and I believe the hood represents a theological doctorate from Episcopal Divinity School. I shall confirm this or invent something else, as time permits.
I saw President Anderson enter the House in street clothes. When she stood to Preside, it was in the gown. So there must be a secret changing room back stage. I imagine this must be a cross between Batman’s lair and Superman’s phone booth. 7WD will investigate.
Your reporting is almost enough to make me glad that General Convention is happening.
So far this website has told us about the only important things happening at Anaheim.
