Know Your Story. Live it Boldly.
This was the theme of this year’s Diocesan Convention. We were called in multiple ways to connect our story (our life) to God’s story and God’s story (scriptures) to our story. We were also challenged to see it all as a part of the Jesus Movement, as Presiding Bishop Curry speaks of so often, giving it the tag line of us becoming loving, liberating, and life-giving.
Through innovative worship, prayer, conversation, dialogue, video testimonials, and song, we found a way which forged a path toward finding our common story.
Deacon Wanda shared her amazing story of her refugee father and the impact that had on her life, which ultimately led to her introduction to the Anglican Church, while living in London. To listen to her story, click here.
The business section of the convention approved two resolutions, one endorsing our support of the initiative of “Feed My Sheep” which calls the parishes to continue to embrace feeding programs as well as advocacy programs to fight the causes of poverty and one which commits our diocese to life-long formation of all people.
It was a time of inspiration, joy, and coming together as the people of God, here in the Diocese of Central PA.
