“Joining God’s Mission in Tension Times” is the theme of Missio2024, the Global Mission Conference for the Episcopal Church, which will be convened online by the Global Episcopal Mission Network (GEMN), March 20-22. The Wednesday-Friday gathering will be held from 12 to 3 p.m. Eastern on each of the three days.
Registration is free, donations are welcome. We’ve compiled a trove of resources on the mission pages to learn about the different contexts with which the Conference is concerned. This Missio is an opportunity to learn from people on both sides of those companionships as they join God’s mission in danger zones such as Sudan, Haiti, Pakistan and Israel/Palestine. Last fall the GEMN Board renamed the annual conference Missio, the Latin word for mission. The 2024 dates occur in the week before Palm Sunday.
Meeting in person encourages friendship and enhances collaboration. The online format for 2024, however, was chosen in light of other events in the spring and General Convention in the summer.

In 2025, Missio will be held April 30-May 2 in the Diocese of Honduras at the invitation of Bishop Lloyd Allen.
The purpose of GEMN is to gather, inspire and equip people to participate in God’s global mission. Its core values are humility, inclusion and companionship. The network includes dioceses, mission agencies, congregations, seminaries, religious orders and individuals. The Diocese of Southern Ohio is a founding member of GEMN, formed in 1995.
