It is a huge week for the nation, and there are also many critical things going on in our diocese. This E-pistle is perhaps a reflection of the scattered nature of my own thoughts, prayers, and actions.

Following up on topics that came up at the Diocesan Convention, we have a survey for all those who are interested in continuing the relationship with Bishop John Orina Omangi and the Diocese of Upper Southern Nyanza-Kisii in Kenya.
We have a second survey for all those interested in helping to shape the future of the Canon for Youth and Children position.
Finally, I encourage members of our congregation to join me this Advent in reading daily meditations on the psalms in Show Me Your Ways, O Lord: Devotions on the Psalms of Advent. This book has brief meditations on Advent psalms by a group of Episcopal leaders; and is available for purchase at Forward Movement’s website, or on other online booksellers.
