Call to the 207th Annual Diocesan Convention
“Our annual convention gives us the opportunity to come together and, bolstered by our faith in Jesus Christ, cultivate the relationships, policies, and programs that advance our common mission.“
— Bishop Thomas Brown
“
Each year from September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. It is a special season where we celebrate God as Creator and acknowledge Creation as the divine continuing act that summons us as collaborators to love and care for the gift of all that is created. As followers of Christ from around the globe, we share a common call to care for Creation. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our well-being is interwoven with the well-being of the Earth.”

Bishop Brown’s Sabbatical
From June 24 until the end of October Bishop Brown will be on sabbatical. His return to official duties and to us will be the 207th Annual Diocesan Convention on Nov. 7.
While he is away, Bishop Brown will neither receive nor be able to respond to emails, phone calls, or texts. He plans to spend his sabbatical visiting with family, resting, traveling, and learning.
During this time, Canon to the Ordinary Teresa Pinney will be in charge of diocesan operations. If a situation arises that requires a bishop, she and Mark Spahr, president of the Standing Committee, will contact a retired bishop ready to help if needed.
Please join us in keeping Bishop Brown in your prayers during this period of rest and renewal.
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.
