[Episcopal News Service -- Anaheim, California] Far from being wide-eyed and shy, the eight 20-something members of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship’s Young Adult Presence (YAP) are very present indeed at General Convention, with a deep grasp of issues and an even deeper determination to do something about them.
The young adults, who are either college students or recent graduates, are all active in their local congregations and dioceses in a variety of peace and justice issues, such as food banks, shelters, women’s rights, gay and lesbian rights, education equality, children’s issues, and a number of other justice ministries. All of them are first-time General Convention attendees.
