- Lambeth, 2008 -- A series of 10 video journals featuring more than 30 bishops from around the world attending the 2008 Lambeth Conference of the Anglican Communion are now available for viewing at Trinity Wall Street's website. Produced for the Lambeth Conference by Trinity Wall Street, the video journals were shown at the outset of each conference day, introducing participants to the daily thematic focus. The journals portray the personal experiences of bishops and spouses as they relate to that day's theme and include segments which capture the life of conference.
The videos run approximately five minutes in length and address topics ranging from evangelism, social justice and the environment to engagement in a multi-faith world and the abuse of power. Bishops in the videos include Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury; Daniel Deng Bul Yak, Archbishop of Sudan; Miguel Tamayo, Bishop of Uruguay; Edward Malecdan, Bishop of Northern Philippines; David Beetge, Bishop of Highveld, South Africa; Victoria Matthews, Bishop of Christchurch, New Zealand; Alexander John Malik, Bishop of Lahore, Pakistan; and Mark Sisk, Bishop of New York, USA
- General Convention: A resource created in 2009, Preparing for General Convention 2009: A Resource for Congregations, written in collaboration with our Deputation to 76th General Convention is intended to help the people of our diocese to understand the work of General Convention. Whether the booklet is used to support discussions organized in individual congregations, or the booklet is simply distributed for individuals’ reading, it is still an informative booklet for all as we work to understand the actions of the once-every-three-year legislative sessions of The Episcopal Church. The General Convention was held in 2009 in Anaheim, California from July 8-17. If you are interested in a Summary of Actions of the 76th General Convention, here is a link.
Electronic copies of the booklet Preparing for General Convention 2009 are downloadable here.
An ecumenical group in Elkin, including some from Galloway Memorial Church, has been meeting for over a year in an effort to find peaceful ways to resolve international and interpersonal conflicts, and a small discussion guide, The Prince of Peace: A Christian View of War (July 2008), is a result. It includes some historical perspectives, references to current attempts at international conflict resolution, and some questions for group discussion. You may access the guide here and make copies as needed. If you have questions or comments, please send them to freasplace@wilkes.net, or call John Freas at (336) 957-2753."Rejoice in the Lord!", is an excellent small group bible study on the book of Philippians, originally for St. Paul's Episcopal Church, in Winston-Salem, NC. This study is structured for a one hour class over 12 weeks, and provides a facilitator's plan as well as a study guide for participants. Each week, the class explores a scripture passage from Philippians. Questions are provided for further reflections and invite deeper discussion if time allows. The curriculum creators have also provided optional materials for further study or for other activities. Materials can be requested from Heidi Hawks, at St. Paul's Church.
