Theological Reflections on Nationhood
Bishop Thomas E. Breidenthal explores the history of nationalism and the dangers it presents to our society today. The three-week series begins Wednesday, December 4. In the first presentation, Bishop Breidenthal considers the concept of nationhood as it emerged in the early modern era (1400-1600 CE), focusing on the role this concept played in the emergence of Anglicanism. He then moves on to the twentieth century struggle between fascism and democracy, with particular attention to the work and witness of German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Dec. 11). The bishop will wrap up the series on international law and its Biblical roots (Dec 18).
The evening will begin with Evening Prayer in Centennial Chapel at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30. The program begins at 7 p.m. and will be followed by Compline at 8 p.m. All three programs will be live streamed so that all in the diocese can participate.

This beautiful service is a wonderful way to begin the season of waiting for Christ’s birth.

Forward Movement, along with partners from across the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada, invites followers of Jesus to participate in the Good Book Club, a churchwide Bible reading initiative. The Good Book Club will focus on the Gospel of John, with participants reading a section of scripture each day during the Epiphany season, starting on January 6, 2020.
The Episcopal Networks Collaborative, a partnership between the Episcopal Network for Economic Justice, the Union of Black Episcopalians, and the Episcopal Ecological Network, has released the latest of its sets of reflections for use by preachers and teachers. These reflections are for use during the season of Advent.
Thanks to a generous group of donors, for the second year in a row, contributions that Episcopal Relief & Development receives between now and the end of the year will be doubled, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $1 million.

Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
