Because of You...New Technology Is Coming Soon to Taliaferro Hall
A huge thank you to all who gave to our $25 Days to $25K matching campaign last fall. Because of your generous response, we met our goal and received the $25K match from the Jesse Ball DuPont Fund! Today this money is being used to install a highly automated presentation, video conference, and streaming system in Taliaferro Hall. Specifically, the hall will soon feature rear and stage mounted HD cameras to capture the stage and audience area, video conferencing software, live streaming capabilities, an upgraded projector, new wireless microphones, and an assisted listening system with four receivers. All these improvements will enable us to share our programming with an online audience, which has blossomed throughout the pandemic.
The new equipment will be installed later this month between August 16 and 27. It will be ready for Rally Day when we will stream what is happening in Taliaferro Hall on the big stage screen. And, the Dean’s Forum, which begins Sunday, September 12 at 9 a.m., will be available in-person and online for the first time ever.

Diocese of Florida Prayer for the Election of Our Bishop
Almighty God, giver of every good gift, we pray that you would look graciously upon the Diocese of Florida, and so guide the minds and hearts of the Nominating Committee as they prayerfully select candidates for the election of the next bishop of this diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries: Guide also the minds and hearts of the candidates who will come before the Nominating Committee, that this process will be a time of discernment and growth in their lives and ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
