Translators needed!
Since Province II is the
International Atlantic Province, we have dioceses whose first language is not English. This presents a communication problem that we are trying to address. The Episcopal Church in Cuba needs to receive communications in Spanish and the Diocese of Haiti needs to receive communications in Haitian Creole or French. The communications committee is seeking volunteers who would be willing to do translations of key documents into any of these languages. If you would be interested, contact Neva Rae Fox, Communications Consultant for Province II at
nevarae@aol.com .

Life Transformed: The Way of Love in Lent and Easter
The journey through Lent into Easter is a journey with Jesus. We are baptized into his life, self-giving, and death; then, we rise in hope to life transformed. This Lent, communities are invited to walk with Jesus in his Way of Love and into the experience of transformed life. Together, we will reflect anew on the loving actions of God as recounted in the Easter Vigil readings. Together, we will walk through the depths of salvation history into the fullness of redemption.
