GAFCON II: We Need Your Help and Quickly

From The Rt. Reverend Neil Lebhar, Bishop:
We need your help, and quickly. Let me explain.

GAFCON, now operating within the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, has become a movement with tremendous impact globally, as we all seek to live out historic Anglicanism with biblical faithfulness and missional passion. It is time for this movement to reconvene in order to continue pressing ahead. GAFCON II will therefore be held in Nairobi, October 21-26, 2013 (see: www.gafcon.org ). The theme is "Making Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ."

Along with others in ACNA, our diocese has been asked to send a five person delegation. In addition, we are hoping to fund two other members from the diocese so they may contribute their expertise in theological preparation and in discipling in the next generation.

Given both the conference costs and the international travel involved, we need financial support well beyond our current diocesan budget. More. . .

Israel Familarization Trip
January 21-30, 2014
There are very few experiences that have changed our lives more than traveling to Israel. And very little in our discipling of others has had a greater impact than taking them to Israel. Therefore we invite you to travel to Israel with us and learn how to lead a future group. This is a special leaders' Familiarization (FAM) Israel trip sponsored by Shoresh Tours, based at Christ Church (Anglican) in Jerusalem.  Sign up today!

Ordination Preparation Team

God is raising up men and women to ordained leadership in His Church!  What a privilege it is to walk alongside those who are discerning this call as this discernment happens within the context of the local parish as well as in the Diocese.  The goal of the Ordaination Preparation Team in the Gulf Atlantic Diocese is to be thorough, yet flexible.  Here you will be able to find the materials you need to take the next step - whether you are a layperson discerning a call, a Rector, a member of the Parish Discernment Team, a Vestry person, or in Diocesan leadership.
