Forty vergers from across the United States gathered at Trinity Cathedral in Miami, Florida, on October 28-31 for the fifth national conference of the Verger's Guild of the Episcopal Church. The Verger's Guild was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1989 to promote the ancient office and ministry of the verger in the Anglican Communion. Vergers assist the clergy of a parish by assuming some of the daily operations and planning necessary to prepare the sanctuary and nave for worship and prayer by the congregation.
