This is the space where the House of Deputies meets for their legislative sessions. It is the body of (approx.1000) elected representatives from all dioceses, both lay and ordained but not including bishops (who convene in the House of Bishops.) These photos were taken before convention got started. Since the deputies have begun their work, the space has attained more of a "lived-in" look. e.g. all the deptutations are invited to lash a mascot of some sort to their name post. Given our proximity to Disney Land there are more than a few Magic Kingdom characters presiding over the work of the HoD. I believe Ohio has adopted Minnie... Pictured here also is the table at which our deptuation sits.
