This just in from Integrity USA:

Live webcast to address General Convention 2009Presiding Officers, others will field questions from audience, online
[April 14, 2009] General Convention 2009 of the Episcopal Church will be the topic of a live webcast on Wednesday, May 13 at 8 am Pacific (9 am Mountain,10 am Central, 11 am Eastern).
General Convention 2009 (GC09) will be held July 8-17 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. The webcast will originate from Anaheim,the site of this year's General Convention.
The Episcopal Church's General Convention, held every three years, is the bicameral governing body of the church. General Convention, the second largest legislative body in the world, is comprised of the House of Bishops,with upwards of 200 members, and the House of Deputies, with clergy and layrepresentatives from the 110 dioceses, at over 700 members.
Participants in the live webcast will be:
Presiding Bishop of the EpiscopalChurch, the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori;
President of the House of Deputies Bonnie Anderson;
Executive Officer and Secretary of the General Convention, the Rev. Gregory Straub;
and Bishop J. Jon Bruno of the Diocese of Los Angeles, the host diocese.
Questions will be accepted via email and from the invited guests in the audience.
To access the live webcast, go to the Episcopal Church website:www.episcopalchurch.org.
NOTE: I have tuned in to webcasts featuring our Presiding Bishop before, and she is very interesting to listen to because she has a way of always trying to maintain balance and keep from entering the screamfest that sometimes arises out of difficult situations.

PS: I have heard our presiding Bishop in person here in NH and you are right. She answers directly to you and also to your question.
