Annual Clergy Retreat Important Updates

This year's annual Clergy Retreat will be held on August 28 - 30, 2016, at Camp Mokule'ia. Unfortunately, the scheduled special guest speaker, the Rev. Justin Lewis-Anthony, has had to cancel, and we are currently making arrangements for a replacement.

Cost for the retreat is $80 resident (staying at the Camp), or, $50 commuter (driving there each day). Scholarship assistance is available upon request to the Bishop. Credit cards are being accepted online.

Because of limited space at the Camp, early registration for the retreat is currently open to canonically resident clergy and those licensed or retired clergy serving congregations and diocesan programs. An e-mail recently went out to those clergy containing the registration link. If you did not receive an e-mail, contact Irina Martikainen.

Beginning on July 6, registration will be open to all clergy on a space available basis. If you have any questions, please contact Irina.

Ultreya at St. Columba's

"Ultreya" is a Spanish word, meaning "Onward!" The word was in common use by pilgrims to greet and to encourage one another along their journey to a holy site in Spain.

On Sunday, June 19, at St. Columba's on the Big Island of Hawai'i, in a climate of friendship, members will share their life experiences based on the three tenets of Cursillo* life: i.e.: Prayer, Study and Action, or based on a passage from Scripture. As its name implies, the Ultreya, is a call to move forward in our faith and to keep the flame of Christ's spirit within us burning brightly.

Whether or not you have attended a Cursillo weekend in the past, we hope you will join us for this small group ministry time of prayer, witness, singing and fellowship. Ultreya will meet from 2:30 - 3:30 PM, at St. Columba's, 43-1425 Hauola Rd, Paauilo, followed by a potluck for anyone who wishes to stay. For more information about Cursillo or Ultreya, please e-mail parishioners John or Charlotte Crouch or call (808) 883-9411.

*Cursillo is a weekend of spiritual renewal for church members.

What's Happening in The Episcopal Church?

Announcements from around The Episcopal Church & beyond

Save the Date!
The Episcopal Church Evangelism Conference

Save the dates for Evangelism Matters, an Episcopal Church Evangelism Conference on November 18-19, in Dallas, TX, for anyone who would like to learn more about evangelism and available resources to share our faith.

This innovative churchwide event is co-sponsored by Forward Movement and the Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop's Office, and is hosted by the Diocese of Dallas and Church of the Transfiguration, Dallas, where the activities will be held.

"Evangelism Matters is an exciting venture which will allow Episcopalians to share, learn and grow our capacity for evangelism," commented the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers, the Presiding Bishop's Canon for Evangelism and Reconciliation. "People often speak as if Episcopalians don't 'do' evangelism, and that's just not true. We're serious about sharing good news and growing new relationships everywhere."

Among the planned activities are an address by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, plus plenary sessions and workshops by evangelism leaders. A portion of the Saturday events will be live webcast to allow for individual and group viewing during conventions, discussion groups, and local evangelism gatherings.

Schedule, registration and other details will be announced in June. For more information, e-mail Spellers or Scott Gunn.

Presiding Bishop Curry Names New Staff Members

The Rev.Canon E. Mark Stevenson, Director of Episcopal Migration Ministries

Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael Curry has appointed the Rev. Canon E. Mark Stevenson as Director of Episcopal Migration Ministries, a member of the Presiding Bishop's staff.

Since September 2013, Stevenson has served as the Episcopal Church Domestic Poverty Missioner, responsible for encouraging poverty ministry efforts aimed at systemic change and overseeing Jubilee Ministries, with nearly 700 ministries that focus on the economically impoverished. He has also worked to develop partnerships and extensive networking with many Episcopal Church organizations, including Episcopal Relief & Development.

Episcopal Migration Ministries is the refugee resettlement program of the Episcopal Church. Each year the Episcopal Church works in partnership with its 30 member local affiliate network in 26 states, along with dioceses, faith communities and volunteers, to welcome refugees from conflict zones across the globe. This year, Episcopal Migration Ministries will welcome more than 5,000 refugees to the United States from 32 countries, from places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burma, Afghanistan, and Syria.

As director, Stevenson will provide leadership with a dedicated, experienced team in implementing Episcopal Migration Ministries' national program of refugee resettlement as mandated by federal requirements, as well as any initiatives stemming from General Convention and Executive Council pertaining to refugee and immigration issues.

"The work of Episcopal Migration Ministries is an important element of our overall work as a Church, as we do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God," Stevenson said. "In my ministry over the years, I have witnessed injustice - and the struggles that come from it - attempt to strip away the dignity that God grants to each of us at our creation. As with the related issues of economic poverty ministry, the work of welcoming the stranger can bring systemic, transformative change to our world. I am looking forward to my new ministry alongside the professional staff of Episcopal Migration Ministries, its affiliates and partners, as the Church lives into this calling."

Stevenson's appointment takes effect June 1, and can be reached at [email protected].

The analyst represents Church policies to government leaders, devises and executes legislative and communication strategy, proposes and monitors federal legislation, writes public-policy statements and letters, determines and writes public-policy alerts for the Episcopal Public Policy Network, trains Episcopalians in public-policy advocacy, and builds coalitions to support policy priorities.

Wendy Karr Johnson,

Digital Missioner for Formation

Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael Curry has named Wendy Karr Johnson as Digital Missioner for Formation, following a churchwide search.

As Missioner, Johnson will support the ministry of the Team for Formation and Congregational Development with a focus on online formation, social media and event planning facilitation.

"Ministry with youth and young adults is foundational to the Episcopal Church and to the Jesus Movement," Johnson said. "I am excited to have the opportunity to support this ministry and the young people of our church as we engage the critical and life-giving work ahead."

Johnson began her position on June 6, and can be reached at [email protected].

Applications Being Accepted for 2016 Jubilee Ministry Grants

Applications are being accepted for the 2016 Jubilee Ministry grants to further the mission and ministry of The Episcopal Church.

"Every year, The Episcopal Church provides grants to assist currently-designated Jubilee Ministries in their work," noted the Rev. Canon E. Mark Stevenson, Episcopal Church Domestic Poverty Missioner. "These grants are intended to help ministries in their mission to create a more just society and confront structures that promote cycles of poverty and inequality."

The 2016 Jubilee Grants will be awarded in two categories, totaling $65,000: Jubilee Development Grant and Jubilee Impact Grants.

The Jubilee Development Grant, up to $25,000, will be awarded to a new or existing ministry that can demonstrate a new or re-visioned strategy and methodology to address systemic issues affecting domestic poverty. This grant is intended to seed a sustainable program that makes a difference locally and can inspire others for similar work beyond itself.

The Jubilee Impact Grants, in amounts of $750 to $1,500 for a total of $40,000, will be awarded for initiatives of Jubilee Centers that make a positive and measurable impact in the lives of those in need.

Application forms are available HERE. Deadline for applications is June 17, at 5:00 pm Eastern. All currently-designated Jubilee Ministries are eligible. Proposals must be approved by bishop of the diocese and, if applicable, the Diocesan Jubilee Officer. READ MORE

Ways and Resources to Observe World Refugee Day on June 20, 2016

In 2000, the United Nations named June 20 as World Refugee Day, deeming it an annual opportunity to celebrate the resilience and success of the former refugees who bless our communities with their wisdom and irrepressible spirit and to examine the root causes of violence and persecution that force people to flee at an alarming rate.

This year, The Episcopal Church, in partnership with congregations, volunteers and our network of 30 local affiliate offices in 26 states will welcome more than 5,000 refugees to the United States from 32 countries, from places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burma, Afghanistan, and Syria.

"With more than 60 million displaced people across the globe, our work to welcome refugees to the United States is more important than ever," commented Deborah Stein, Director of Episcopal Migration Ministries. "To raise awareness and support, Episcopalians across the church are encouraged to find a local World Refugee Day activity or plan one of their own." READ MORE
