Bishop Mary to Report to World Mission Network







Saturday September 6

9:30am-1pm
At: St. George's Salinas


Our bishop has worked hard and prayerfully in her mission to discern where God is calling her and our diocese to enter more fully into companionship with other parts of the Anglican Communion. On Saturday, September 6 Bishop Mary invites congregations to send their representatives to a gathering of the diocesan World Mission Network at St. George's, Salinas. Registration begins at 9:30 am with gathering prayers at 10:00 am. Last spring, in preparation for her participation in the Lambeth Conference she asked the diocese to help her discern where we need to move in forming a diocesan companion relationship with other parts of the Anglican Communion. A steering committee was formed, surveys were conducted and a discernment day for congregational representatives was held in May. A report was then generated and sent to her as part of the preparation for Lambeth. (See recent Mission Bell) She is now ready to report back to the diocese.

The impact (or "foot print") which our dioceses has in the world is quite significant.

Please send your reservations to Susan Altig: susan AT edecr.org by September 1.
All interested persons are invited
