Second Sunday of Easter
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery
established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all
who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body
may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Update Strategic Plan 2017: Design teams meeting
The first gathering of the three Design Teams for the Diocese's Strategic Plan 2017, will be taking place this Saturday, April 7, 2018, at The Cathedral of St. Andrew. All team members should review the Strategic Plan before the meeting.
The Strategic Plan for the Diocese has three goals:
- The Diocese is committed to developing and sustaining spiritual growth, vitality, curiosity and well-being within our churches.
- The Diocese seeks to strengthen our identity as one 'ohana and the relationships within our 'ohana among clergy, lay leaders and congregations.
- The Diocese is focused on improving the capacity for communication within our congregations, across the Diocese, and into our communities as we engage in evangelism.
The three Design Teams will be working on a strategy to accomplish these goals. They will plan to present their work at the Annual Meeting of Convention in late October, and also during the visit of our Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry, in March 2019.
The Strategic Plan can be viewed HERE.

What's Happening in The Episcopal Church? Announcements from around The Episcopal Church & beyond |
General Convention to Again Grapple with Same-Sex Marriage Questions
[Episcopal News Service] On June 26, 2015, when a
U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, the 78th General Convention was in its second day.
A few days later, convention authorized two new marriage rites for trial use (
Resolution A054) by both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. The bishops and deputies also made the canonical definition (via
Resolution A036) of marriage gender-neutral.
Indie Pereira asked her priest, who was at convention in Salt Lake City, if this meant she and her then-fiancée could finally get married at their parish in Tennessee.
It wasn't until November 2015 that the answer to Pereira's question became clear.
Diocese of Tennessee Bishop John Bauerschmidt
told the diocese that he would not allow the use of the rites and that only marriages between men and women could be performed in the diocese. He said that same-sex couples could work with Diocese of Kentucky clergy, whose bishops said they could use the rites.
