Special Report: The Spoils of the Exhibition Hall

General Convention means lots of legislation, but it also means plenty of exhibitors from various ministries around the church, including vendors. I've found tons of great stuff from around the world and thought I'd share a bit of it with you!
This tshirt was around last time for Katharine Jefferts Schori. It makes me super happy! Thanks to the Episcopal Women's Caucus.
Thanks to the EWC also for this fantastic pamphlet that explains the history of women's involvement in the church. Good information to know when you weren't there for the events themselves.
Why are Episcopalians so wishy-washy? Who are the most famous Episcopalians? Why all the stained glass? If you want to know the answers to this or any other questions related to being an Episcopalian, check out this book published by Church Publishing. It's set up like a survivor's guide and it's hillaaaarious!
There are tons of wares from the Holy Land. This is a rosary made from the wood of an olive tree in Bethlehem with a Jeruselem cross on it. I've already used it quite a bit...

Finally, this necklace and earring set is from Africa and the money goes to support mission work with orphans there. It's always nice to do a little good when buying something that's just plain pretty!
