The New Orleans Marriott Hotel was the location of the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES) Biennial Conference held November 9-11. Representatives from Episcopal Schools from across the country met to discuss innovation, improvisation, entrepreneurship, and an ever-widening understanding of equity, justice, and diversity in Episcopal schools. On Thursday evening, the Rt. Rev. Morris K. Thompson celebrated Holy Eucharist. Choirs from  St. Matthew’s School, Houma, St. Paul’s Episcopal School, New Orleans, Trinity School, New Orleans, and Ascension Episcopal School, Lafayette, led by Anais St. John of Trinity, New Orleans, provided the music for the service. Faculty and clergy from several local schools provided their expertise in leading workshops for the conference.
