The following is the text of the Presiding Bishop's statement:

Before I say a word about our gathering here at the Primates Meeting, I just want to say a word of thank you to you for all of your prayers: your prayers for this meeting, your prayers for me personally, both here and in my earlier sickness. We are well, and God is God, and I thank you.

Let me say a word about the meeting.

This is not the outcome we expected, and while we are disappointed, it's important to remember that the Anglican Communion is really not a matter of structure and organization. The Anglican Communion is a network of relationships that have been built on mission partnerships; relationships that are grounded in a common faith; relationships in companion diocese relationships; relationships with parish to parish across the world; relationships that are profoundly committed to serving and following the way of Jesus of Nazareth by helping the poorest of the poor, and helping this world to be a place where no child goes to bed hungry ever. That's what the Anglican Communion is, and that Communion continues and moves forward.

This has been a disappointing time for many, and there will be heartache and pain for many, but it's important to remember that we are still part of the Anglican Communion. We are the Episcopal Church, and we are part of the Jesus Movement, and that Movement goes on, and our work goes on. And the truth is, it may be part of our vocation to help the Communion and to help many others to grow in a direction where we can realize and live the love that God has for all of us, and we can one day be a Church and a Communion where all of God's children are fully welcomed, where this is truly a house of prayer for all people. And maybe it's a part of our vocation to help that to happen. And so we must claim that high calling; claim the high calling of love and faith; love even for those with whom we disagree, and then continue, and that we will do, and we will do it together.

We are part of the Jesus Movement, and the cause of God's love in this world can never stop and will never be defeated.

God love you. God bless you. And you keep the faith. And we move forward.

Quiet Day Workshop

Saturday, Feb 6, 2016

9 am - 4 pm

Holy Nativity Church

$15 registration

All women are invited!

"Three Gardens, a Girl and the Gardener" is speaker Mary Carson's theme for the Quiet Day  Workshop set on Saturday, February 6 at Holy Nativity. The event is hosted by the Holy Nativity DOK Chapter and is open to all women. Registration is $15 and includes a catered lunch.

The teaching of 'Three Gardens' is rooted in the Gospel of John. Three Gardens celebrates our Great Gardener and His work in the garden of our lives. We walk through the Scriptures snipping verses and building bouquets; we sort through seasons. Three gardens is a reflection on relationship. Leave the control of the computer. Leave the clutter of the kitchen. Leave the chaos. Go to the garden. Ponder the One who brings mud to life and makes dust dance.
