Discussing Mission with Three Bishops

From Katy Dickinson, St. Andrews:

John and I spent this afternoon at a workshop at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in San Jose, California with our own Bishop Mary plus the two Bishops of our Companion Diocese who are visiting this week:

• The Right Reverend Mary Gray-Reeves, Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real, The Episcopal Church
• The Right Reverend Gerard Mpango, Diocese of Western Tanganyika, Anglican Church of Tanzania
• The Right Reverend Michael Perham, Anglican Diocese of Gloucester, Church of England

The workshop covered several topics. There were presentations about new programs to benefit the people of Bishop Gerard's diocese, including distributing solar ovens and setting up scholarships in this very poor area. John and I were in the "mission" discussion group with Bishops Michael and Gerard plus Reverend Canon Daniel Nyugwa (on Bishop Gerard's staff), Reverend Canon Brian Nordwick (El Camino Real's Diocesan Administrator), and Rev. Amy Denny-Zuniga (Priest-in-charge of St. Luke's, Hollister, and recently a missionary serving in El Salvador).
