The Episcopal Calendar for RI

Greetings!
The 216th Annual Convention of the Diocese of
Rhode Island took place Oct 27th - 28th. This was
my first time attending a diocesan convention. It
was truly fascinating to see the
process in motion. Maybe it is just the politics behind
religion that sparks my interest, but I encourage
anyone with any interest to actively seek
participation in future conventions. I took some
photos, took some notes, but mostly I just took it all
in.
Speaking of taking it all in, our very own Rev. Scott
Gunn attended the investiture of the 26th Presiding
Bishop at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.
In his words from the blog, it
was “astonishingly amazingly breathtakingly
cool.”
Each person I have heard from who attended the
investiture echoes Scott’s sentiments.
Do you know someone who needs to be getting

Each eRISEN is divided in to segments. You will

events along with occasional information from the
Resource
Center and Deployment (Clergy updates). If there is
available room, you may also find interesting
articles. Would you like to see something in eRISEN
that is currently not featured? Let us know by

This is YOUR calendar tool. We send out eRISEN

Peace,
