This special edition of the newsletter is about the "It's All About Love: A Festival for the Jesus Movement" held in Baltimore, Maryland, in early July sponsored by The Episcopal Church. Although the numerous workshops and activities were held inside the Hilton Hotel and the Baltimore Convention Center, there were three "tents" that focused on evangelism, racial reconciliation and creation care. Each of the many workshops fell into one of these categories. I was fortunate to be able to attend as a representative of the Commission for Intercultural Ministries. I reported on my trip below.
Please visit The Episcopal Church's festival page to see videos of the uplifting worship services, plenaries and list of workshops offered. It was wonderful to see Presiding Bishop Michael Curry open the festival and to hear Bishop Curry preach.
This is just a beginning for the Commission for Intercultural Ministries to engage with the the materials from the festival in which we hope to offer you future opportunities to continue to grow and flourish in your faith and to strengthen the Beloved Community within the diocese. More to come!
If you have any questions about the workshops, please feel free to reach out to me at bjwilli@surewest.net, 916-880-0254.
In Peace,
Jo Ann Williams
