SUMMARY:Diocesan Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:You are invited! \nWe all know that our Prayer Book provides a clear statement about the mission God gives us: to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ (p. 855). The Prayer Book states that we pursue this mission through prayer\, worship\, proclaiming the Gospel\, and promoting justice\, peace\, and love. \nHow can we set a course for engaging with God in this big\, bold mission? \nSince each of our faith communities is an outpost for proclaiming the Gospel\, how can we work together\, throughout our sixteen counties\, to say more about who we are\, why we’re here\, and what we’re doing about it? \nYour wisdom and perspective is necessary for us to set the course\, and we will have clearer answers to “who are we?” and “why are we here?” and “what are we doing about it?” for being together to listen and to speak. Will you be part of this work? \n
