Events
Worldwide: 2 December 2017: Freedom Sunday
'Churches throughout the Anglican Communion are expected to observe Freedom Sunday as part of increased efforts to tackle human trafficking and modern slavery. The Anglican Alliance has produced a resource pack, in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese to help churches plan services and other events around Freedom Sunday, which this year falls on the UN’s International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. The resource pack includes stories, information, prayers and a sermon outline.'
USA: Virginia, Williamsburg, 22-31 January 2018: Mastering the Art of Making Altar Linens
At the Williamsburg School of Needlework.
USA: Florida, Live Oak, 8-10 February 2018: Wisdom Calling: A Conference on Local Formation
'Today, it is time for the Episcopal Church to think as carefully and invest as intentionally in local formation as we long have for residential seminary training, as a vital seedbed for the leaders of tomorrow’s church. Should we endeavor to make local formation as much like residential seminary as possible? What can be gained by immersion in local ministry contexts that the traditional seminary model can't give? And what practical tools, best practices, and collaborative partnerships are available to strengthen local formation across our church?'
