There are over 200 couples in our Diocese who reached this tremendous milestone. These couples are examples of commitment and inspire us all.

A Weekend with Earl Palmer:
EPHESIANS
A First Century Book for our 21 st  Century
Camp Weed & Cerveny Conference Center

Registration coming soon

C.S. Lewis and New Testament scholar, author and preacher the Rev. Earl Palmer returns to us in September to open our eyes and hearts to what has been referred to as the ‘Queen of the Epistles.’
This first century book is written from Rome (during imprisonment) to a group of people Paul knows well, having taught in Ephesus for at least three years. At its heart this letter is an affirmation of the transforming power of the love of God—its height, width, length and depth.

The aim of the Christian life goes beyond information to transformation. The Enneagram has proven to be the perfect transformational companion to Christian faith and discipleship.

The workshop will be led by the Rev. Father Michael Ellis, Rector of St Francis in the Fields. He has many years of experience in this work and trained at one of the very finest Enneagram schools for directors.
