80th General Convention Since 2008, the Episcopal Network for Economic Justice (ENEJ) has issued a set of current issue papers for each General Convention. For the 80th General Convention a new set of issue papers has been developed by members of ENEJ as well as the Union of Black Episcopalians (UBE). This edition includes papers on student loans and public education, voter rights, the wealth gap, unions, gender inequality, health care, incarceration, and the child welfare system. Together, these papers cover the range of concerns of people interested in addressing issues of justice, and economic and racial inequality. We hope you these issue papers inform you as you consider these topics.
