A Message From the Bishop
Our baptismal promises are the foundation for every other promise we make. When we ordain clergy, for example, we acknowledge that the particular order to which the person is called is an icon for ministry that belongs to us all. This means that each of us ought to cultivate gifts that reflect those of the diaconate, looking for Christ in every person, and being ready to help and serve others; that each of us, in the way priests promise, must endeavor to live so that the reconciling love of Christ is known and received; and that each of us, like bishops vow, will be merciful to all, show compassion to the poor and strangers, and defend those who have no helper.
Dear friends in Christ, the Palestinian people need a helper. Images of unspeakable violence in the West Bank, and especially in Gaza, cause us to lament, echoing the Prophet Isaiah, “How long, O Lord?”

Social Justice & Advocacy
We are working toward justice and peace for all people, and public policies that respect the dignity of every human being, both in the state of Maine, the United States, and the world.
Worship
The Episcopal Diocese of Maine participates in creative, energizing worship to praise and thank God, to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and to pray for ourselves and others. We gather as Jesus invited us, around a community table with bread and wine, to celebrate His risen presence and to be renewed and strengthened for the work God gives us to do.
