John Bunker: New Drawings and Paintings |
|
Exhibition Opening Reception
Saturday, November 13
5 - 7 p.m.
Newly lighted gallery in Taliaferro Hall with refreshments provided by the Cooking Ministry
About the Exhibition
Times of enforced withdrawal from the ordinary, times of pandemic and plague, have often produced great works of art. Such times can be times “of tears and sorrows; courage and endurance” as Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway says. They can also be times of creative introspection and insight.
This exhibition JOHN BUNKER: NEW DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS is a selection of 34 drawings from the 150 drawings created by Jacksonville’s premier visual artist, John Bunker during the pandemic. These drawings have artistic depth and masterful facility in the less attention-demanding medium of drawing. In them, Bunker explores many themes familiar from his earlier work. There is a reflective intensity to these drawings, done on papers infused with color, and marked with intimate, personal strokes. Read more.

Meet Our Guest Preacher: The Rev. Jim Adams |
The Rev. James Patrick Adams is Rector of Christ Church, located on Capitol Square in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded in 1821, Christ Church has a tradition of excellence in preaching, teaching, and sacred music, and it is well known for its robust outreach programs serving the needs of the poor and marginalized in Raleigh and beyond.
Jim attended Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia where he earned his Master of Divinity in 1997 and was a classmate of Dean Moorehead.
Prior to accepting the call to Christ Church, Jim served as Rector of Saint Alban’s Episcopal Church in Cape Elizabeth, Maine from 2000-2010. Previously, he was Associate Rector at Saint Thomas Church, Hanover, New Hampshire, and Episcopal Chaplain at Dartmouth College.
Jim is married to Allene Cooley Adams and together they are parents to six adult children. So far, they have six (nearly perfect) grandchildren, and two beloved (badly behaved) canine companions.

Transition Committee Appointees
Beloved in Christ,
The Standing Committee was once again humbled to see the excitement around the Diocese for all that the Lord has in store for us through next year’s episcopal election.
We received many applications from talented clergy and laity, and we are grateful to God that there is so much willingness to serve. We extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to those who applied but were not appointed.
With gratitude and great expectation, we announce the names of those appointed to serve on the Transition Committee:
· Barbara Stevenson, St. Mark’s, Jacksonville – Co-Chair
· The Rev. Bob Goolsby, St. Thomas, Palm Coast – Co-Chair
· Hannah Bardin, Our Saviour, Jacksonville
· Deborah Brill, St. Luke’s, Jacksonville
· Martha Cox, St. John’s Cathedral, Jacksonville
· Glenn Guiler, St. John’s Cathedral, Jacksonville
· Amy Johnson, Holy Comforter, Tallahassee
· Heather Johnston, Redeemer, Jacksonville
· The Rev. Bob Marsh, St. Mark’s, Palatka
· The Rev. Sarah Minton, All Saints, Jacksonville

This important committee will shepherd the final slate of nominees from their announcement in early March to the election in mid-May, with an emphasis on introducing the nominees to the Diocese, and the Diocese to the nominees. They will then care for those not elected and help our Bishop Coadjutor-Elect move towards consecration.
Please keep them in your regular prayers as their initial organizing work begins very soon.
In Christ Alone,
Your Standing Committee
