Blogging from Lambeth Conference

Want to travel to Lambeth with the Bishop and Laura Smith? (They will be at the Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, England until Aug. 4.) You can do so electronically by checking in frequently to the special website www.lambethdaily.blogspot.com. Here Bishop Smith will post daily impressions (and some pictures we hope) of the conference. 

The Bishop and Laura Smith appeared on the July 18th cover of Church Times, a popular publication in Great Britian. The Bishop wrote about it in his July 19th Lambeth blog:

"When we arrived a few days ago, Laura and I happened to be standing in the right place at the right time! It appears that we were in the right camera angle for both the BBC nightly TV report as well as the cover of the Church Times, a popular magazine here in England. The downside? Laura looks like she is the Secret Service Agent for the Archbishop, and I look in need of a bathroom (which I was)." 

Stained glass in peril

TOMBSTONE - Built in 1882, St. Paul's is the oldest Protestant church building in the state still standing on its original site and used for its original purpose and the first Episcopal church west of the Mississippi still serving people of all faiths in its original building.

However, their stained glass windows are in dire need of restoration. Cost of restoration and protection against accidental damage and/or vandalism is $92,000, well beyond their normal capabilities.

Contributions can be mailed either to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 1489, Tombstone, AZ 85638, or directly to Tombstone Federal Credit Union, 101 E. Allen St., P.O. Box 305, Tombstone, AZ 85638 clearly marked for deposit to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Window Restoration Account 5092-3.
