“I think that the youth are quite possibly the most important voice at General Convention. And they're really the ones you should be listening to. We often get ignored. And people are like, ‘Oh, my gosh, the youth aren't coming to church anymore.’ You should be listening to us.” - Meredith McKeever, member of Grace Episcopal Church - Madison, NJ and Official Youth Deputy to General Convention.

Meredith McKeever will be one of just 18 young people selected to have seat and voice at the 81st General Convention as part of the Official Youth Presence.
