Proper 27
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might
destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God
and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may
purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again
with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his
eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

The following are messages from Bishop Robert Fitzpatrick:
The Appointment of an Archdeacon for the Diocese of Hawai'i
I am pleased to announce the appointment of the Rev. Dcn. Steven Costa as Archdeacon of the Diocese of Hawai'i effective at the beginning of the Church year on the 1st Sunday of Advent (December 3, 2018).
Steve's non-stipendiary ministry will be:
(1) To encourage and support the ministry of current vocational Deacons throughout the Diocese,
(2) To share the ministry of Deacons throughout the Diocese encouraging the discernment of those called to ordination as vocational Deacons,
(3) To advise the Bishop on the concerns and needs of the vocational Deacons,
(4) To encourage outreach ministries throughout the Diocese, and
(5) To act as the "Jubilee Officer" of the Diocese.
As Archdeacon, Steve may be addressed as "The Venerable," but to us he will always be passionate yet humble "Deacon Steve".

The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i

The Volunteer Diocesan Coordinator
of Education for Ministry (EfM)
After several years as the volunteer Diocesan Coordinator of Education for Ministry (EfM), Mr. Peter Carson (a member of Emmanuel Church, Kailua), is stepping down. Peter's service of encouraging and supporting congregations using EfM as part of formation has been a wonderful and a true gift to the Diocese. Peter, thank you!
What is EfM?
"
Every baptized person is called to ministry. The Education for Ministry (EfM) program provides people with the education to carry out that ministry. During the Service of Confirmation we ask God to 'Renew in these your servants the covenant you made with them at Baptism. Send them forth in the power of the Spirit to perform the service you set before them.'
EfM offers an opportunity to discover how to respond to the call to Christian service
....
Lay persons face the difficult and often subtle task of interpreting the richness of the church's faith in a complex and confusing world. They need a theological education which supports their faith and also teaches them to express that faith in day-to-day events.
As the emphasis on lay ministry has grown, EfM has come to play an important role by providing a program that develops an informed and knowledgeable laity....
The EfM program does not evaluate or recommend individuals for ordination."
EfM is not meant to be a path to ordination (either through our local Waiolaihuiʻia program or a residential seminary).
This four year program is designed to empower active lay ministry. "
The seminar group is the nucleus of the Education for Ministry program. A group consists of six to twelve participants and a trained mentor who meet weekly over the course of a nine-month academic year. These meetings are usually from two and a half to three hours in length.
Through
study
,
prayer
, and
reflection
, EfM groups move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God's kingdom. This process can be illustrated by a two-rail fence. One rail is the Christian tradition. The other is the collective experience of the group's members. The rails are linked by fence posts which represent the seminar sessions where life and study meet. The fence is grounded in the soil of regular worship which is vital to the life of the group." See
http://efm.sewanee.edu for more information on EfM.
The volunteer
Diocesan EfM
Coordinator supports congregations, encourages mentor training and provides links with the EfM office in Tennessee. Nominations are welcome to serve as the next volunteer
Diocesan EfM
Coordinator. Peter has graciously agreed to support his successor in this important ministry. For more information or to make a suggestion, please contact me at rlfitzpatrick@episcopalhawaii.org.
Again, Peter, mahalo!
Yours Faithfully,
+Bob
The Rt. Reverend Robert L. Fitzpatrick, Bishop
The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i
