General Convention news teams seeking volunteers

     (ENS) The news teams for the Denver General Convention next 
summer are seeking volunteers from editors, writers and 
communicators.

     As in past years, press coverage is divided among several 
teams that produce daily press releases for Episcopal News 
Service, the Convention Daily and electronic media coverage. 
Previous experience or familiarity with General Convention is 
very helpful but not a requirement. Journalistic experience in a 
hectic environment is essential. Please indicate specific 
interests as well as skills. (A token honorarium has become a 
tradition.)

     Volunteers should plan on arriving in Denver on Sunday, July 
2, and staying through the end of General Convention on July 14. 
To apply please send a cover letter with resume and/or 
biographical information to the Office of News and Information, 
815 Second Avenue, New York 10017. Please include telephone 
numbers and e-mail addresses.

     The ENS team will be headed by Jim Thrall, former deputy 
director of the Office of News and Information; Carol Barnwell, 
communications coordinator for the Diocese of Texas, will edit 
the Convention Daily.
