Dear friends:
In 2022 Bishop Prior and I visited 77 parishes. We’ve worshipped with thousands of you, we’ve had countless conversations, and we’ve witnessed many, many moments of grace and healing. Our diocese is a special place where the love of Jesus is tangible and real, and I am honored to be your bishop.
Through our travels and our work with all the various Diocesan departments, commissions, and ministries, a vision for the future of our diocese has taken shape. No matter where I go, I see four areas that represent both our strengths and challenges all at once. These four focus areas are: congregational vitality, leadership development, racial healing, and Camp McDowell.
