Griswold Preaches at General Convention's Closing Eucharist. In his sermon during the closing Eucharist at General Convention, Presiding Bishop-elect Frank Griswold said that through Christ the church can "welcome the paradox, complexity, ambiguity and outright contradiction, which is where real life is lived and the grace and peace of God are truly to be found."
