Salt and Light to the Poor
The course motivated several in the class to look for practical ways to reach out in their community. The group soon discovered opportunities to link arms with Hope Faith Ministry (HFM), a non-denominational, faith-based ministry serving the extremely poor and homeless of Kansas City, Missouri, about twenty miles away. Read full story here.

Making a Difference at Winter Olympics 2010
The Rev. Ed Hird
I have never seen Vancouver so electric, so dynamic, so alive. When Vancouver won the Olympic Men's Hockey game, more than 500,000 Vancouverites flooded the streets, so many that the police had to temporarily shut down the bus system. Canada, who has never won Gold when twice before hosting the Olympics, was privileged to win 14 gold medals, the largest number ever won by any country.
In the midst of Canada's unexpected Gold Rush, the Body of Christ was there pointing to More Than Gold. More Than Gold is a movement of churches that gathers at each Olympics to let people know that while winning gold is exciting, there is something worth more than gold: the good news of Jesus Christ.

Snowfall Leads to Service Weekend
How would you like to shovel snow for eight hours on your day off?
Clearing snow can be a nuisance as the winter drags on, but for a group of teens in Modesto, California, the accumulation of snow meant opportunity for a weekend retreat.
High school students from Wellspring Anglican Church in Modesto gave up a weekend to remove five feet of snow from the extensive deck of a Christian campground in the mountains an hour away. The group spent time in devotions and celebrated their work accomplishment the following day - and enjoyed playing in the white, powdery stuff at a snow park further up the mountain. Read full story here.

Teaching Theology in Rwanda
The study of theology is not for the faint of heart - combined with learning a new language at the same time, it's a feat of remarkable dedication for students and teacher alike.
Every year since 1999, the Rev. Vicki Gladding (center) has traveled to Rwanda, serving in various capacities of leadership. Recently, she spent eight intensive days teaching theology students at the Kigali Anglican Theological College (commonly referred to as Rwanda Christian University). Financial gifts from the Anglican Mission help make the school possible. Read full story here.
Want to donate an NIV Study Bible to a Rwandan student?
Email Vicki Gladding. Also ask about teaching at the Kigali Anglican Theological College.

books by Bishops
Todd Hunter and Fitzsimons Allison!
Giving Church Another Chance: Finding New Meaning in Spiritual Practices
The Rt. Rev. Todd Hunter
Anglican Mission Bishop Todd Hunter investigates nine church practices-attendance, prelude, doxology, scripture reading, sermons, liturgy, offering, communion, benediction-as a launching pad to life.
Trust in an Age of Arrogance
The Rt. Rev. C. Fitzsimons Allison
Lovers of the writings of Bishop Fitz, as he is affectionately known, will not be disappointed in his newest volume, Trust in an Age of Arrogance. In this book, he explores the serious consequences of replacing Christianity with secularism and the dangers of self-righteousness when it comes to the Christian life and our salvation.
