During each day of General Convention, the DeputyNews Instagram account has been taken over by one of the deputies born in the 1990s. Scroll through the introductions from the first seven deputy takeovers below, and see all their posts on Instagram .
Hey everyone! My name is Dunstanette Macauley-Dukuly, lay deputy from the Diocese of Newark! Pictured here are myself (right) and Janelle Grant (left), one of Newark’s Lay Alternates. Can you tell we’re excited? #gc78 #newarkgc I am Deputy David Kilp, First Lay Deputy for the diocese of Central Pennsylvania and I will be taking over this Instagram account for the day! I am a 20 year old Biology student from Lancaster Pennsylvania. This is my second general convention. My first was in 2012 as a member of the Official Youth Presence and this convention is my first as a deputy from my diocese. I graduated high school in 2013 and spent a year in #ServantYear (a program of #ESC in Philadelphia) before I started studying. I grew up in the youth program of my diocese and fell in love with Jesus, my friends I made at those events and TEC. I hope you enjoy my posts!!! Have a great day! #GC78 #Episcopal #YoungPeopleTakeConvention #Day1 Hi Deputies! My name is Sarah Neumann and I’m taking over the deputy news Instagram today!
