Which date should I RSVP for?

Clergy are invited to pick the date that works for them. In order to assure a manageable sized group, each evening gathering will be limited to the 20 people that can fit at the Bishop's dining table. After 20 people have RSVP'd that date will be closed to further dinner guests, but the rest of the activities are not so limited.
