Walk in love, as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2
This weekend, the entire Episcopal Diocese of Arizona gathers at the Sheraton Crescent Hotel for our annual diocesan convention. Our bishop, The Rt. Rev. Jennifer Reddall, will preside over the convention, and your delegation from Trinity Cathedral will all be present. The dean, the cathedral clergy, as well as elected lay representatives, including Lisa Derrick, John Cary, Alison Moran, Matt Jewett, Canon Judith Conley, Canon Kathleen O’Leary, and Dennis Biondolillo will be there.
This year’s theme of convention will be “Walk in Love,” and our keynote speaker will be the Rev. Scott Gunn from Forward Movement publications. During his time here, our speaker will lead the people of the diocese to examine our collective walk with Jesus. Are we immersing ourselves in a life of prayer? Are we studying scripture in such a way that it informs our lives? Are we truly caring for the people of our neighborhood, loving our neighbors as ourselves? These won’t be easy questions to answer, and the format of this convention will invite participants to engage in lively discussions with each other to identify areas of strength and opportunities to grow.
Diocesan conventions are an annual component of each congregation’s commitment to help govern the Episcopal Church. We have a shared governance structure, and this is a key component of our common life as Christ’s one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. Our congregations gather with our bishop every year to set goals, establish budgets, to mutually discern how Christ calls us into a deeper relationship with God and with our fellow human beings. This work is extremely important to the life of the church, because it’s very rare that the entire assembly of the Episcopal Church in Arizona gets to gather, except when the church gathers at convention!
We’ll be happy to report back to you on Sunday about the diocesan convention, too! For now, please keep all those involved in your prayers, as we embark upon another year, immersing ourselves in the Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement.
In Christ’s peace and love,

It is with deep gratitude that I extend my thanks to the cathedral community, for the welcome, openness, warm community, and support during the last couple of years. I leave with my heart full of insights and wisdom, enfolded by your prayers and love. Please know that I carry with me the values of a community marked by grace, radical welcome and Iove. It has been a pleasure to work alongside with Dean Troy Mendez, Canon Holly Herring, and the rest of the talented and graceful staff of Trinity Cathedral. Transition are so often difficult, but I feel that the prayers, experiences, and collegial partnership establish over the years, will sustain me for the next season of ministry.

True Expressions: Art by Karolina and Bela Fidel
Karolina Adams
and
Bela Fidel
use their divergent styles to find a true expression of their emotion and imagination.
Karolina Adams
works in ink and graphite, creating intimate imagery that is playful and poignant. A recurring character in her work is of a small drawing mannequin with red striped socks. This tiny figure interacts with large real-world objects and conveys an emotional punch. "...it's a lot easier for me to engage in drawing, unload the feelings, and work through the thoughts and emotions and tell my stories." Adams has a BFA from Columbia College, Chicago. She is a gallery artist in Scottsdale AZ and Lenox, MA. and has presented her work in shows around Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Illinois.
Bela Fidel
works with oils, encaustics, and experiments with plasters and compounds to create unique mixed media paintings. Her work is both abstract, colorful, and textural. Fidel seeks true expression in art. "Each painting takes me to roads traveled as well as worlds unknown and provides challenges for growth and humility." Living in different countries Fidel has experienced many cultures which she feels has enriched her art. Fidel was born in Sao Paulo Brazil and studied at Hebrew University in Israel. She is currently a member of International Encaustic Artists. Winner of numerous awards and has shown her work throughout Arizona and California.
WHERE: Olney Gallery at Trinity Cathedral, 100 W. Roosevelt St. Phoenix, AZ 85003
On Exhibit through October 23, 2019
