Dear saints,
This Sunday is World Mission Sunday, marked every year on the last Sunday in Epiphany. As the season in the church year when we draw to mind God’s manifestation in the world it is doubly appropriate that we think of the church in its global context as we watch with distress and concern the events unfolding in Ukraine. Where do we see the church in the midst of such conflict? Where do see God? It is imperative that we ask questions such as these, seeking to engage our theology with the hurts of the world, lest we speak of God as if such speech happens in a vacuum. Our particular tradition draws from a global communion, relationships we need in order to be able to see the world through other’s eyes. I invite you to help us name how we might see our own parish in relationship with that global Anglican family. Let us pray for peace and strive together for justice.
Peace, |

Wisdom from the All Saints' Stewardship Archives...
"All Saints' is central in our life. It is central to our family who worships here on Sunday mornings. It is part of our family history. My grandparents married at All Saints' in 1919. They remind us of all the generations whose thoughtful and generous giving have brought All Saints' to the parish it is today."
—Mimi Spang, 2006 |
