English term or phrase: General convention
Hoe noem je dit in deze specifieke context? Diocese? Geen algemene ledenvergadering, neem ik aan.

The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican communion, with 109 dioceses across 17 countries and headquarters in New York City.
Every three years, the Church holds its ***General Convention***.
This is a key event in the governance of the Church, when members at all levels discuss and vote on resolutions relating to anything from administration to major changes in policy.

Zo'n kerkelijke vergadering heet een synode. Een 'diocese' is overigens een 'bisdom'.
