Li Tii-Oi icon Chinese Convocation to meet,
help launch Li Tim-Oi Center

The Chinese Convocation of Episcopal Aisamerica Ministries of the Episcopal Church will gather at the Cathedral Center of St. Paul Feb. 19 -21 for their annual meeting. As part of their visit, they will travel to Church of Our Saviour, San Gabriel, on Feb. 19 for a special service to kick off the ministry of the Li Tim-Oi Center, which will be a hub for Chinese ministry in the Diocese of Los Angeles. Bishop Suffragan Diane Jardine Bruce, who announced the formation of the center in her remarks at the 2013 meeting of Diocesan Convention, will preside and preach. The Rev. Li Tim-Oi, also known as Florence Li, was the first women ordained a priest in the Anglican Communion. Ronald Hall, Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong, ordained Li, who was already a deacon, as a priest during World War II to serve Anglican Christians in Macao, a Portuguese colony. Although she gave up her active ministry for a time after the war, and was forced into a reeducation camp by the Chinese revolutionary government, she was eventually reinstated as a priest both in Hong Kong and her adopted home of Canada, where she died in 1992. She is listed among the saints of the Episcopal Church in Holy Women, Holy Men; her feast day is Jan. 24. For more information about the meeting of the Chinese Convocation, contact the Rev. Ada Wong Nagata at awongnagata@churchofoursaviour.org.

Mark Nepo Author and Oprah favorite
Mark Nepo to speak at All Saints

Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo will be at All Saints Church, Pasadena, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4 for "Reduced to Joy: A Reading and Conversation." Nepo, author of 12 books and six audio recordings, is best known for The Book of Awakening, which Oprah Winfrey chose in 2010 as one of her Ultimate Favorite Things, launching it to the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list. As Lent approaches, Nepo is the perfect person to talk about entering into the abundant life now. In his 30s he was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, a struggle which helped to form his philosophy of experiencing life fully while staying in relationship to an unknowable future. As a cancer survivor, Nepo writes and teaches about the journey of inner transformation and the life of relationship. For information call 626.796.1172. All Saints Church is located at 132 N.

Elizabeth Rechter Pre-Lenten retreat on 'presence' planned in Laguna Beach

Rechter (pictured) on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 - 22. According to the announcement, "As people of faith, we strive to find and invite God's movement in our everyday reality. In this retreat we explore how the body is a bridge to the Divine. Our bodies are more than a collection of sensing devices for the mind to analyze.  They hold wisdom and can serve as a channel for grace. By connecting with our feelings, the language of the body, we find insights into the movement of God's grace within us. Learning how to be present to ourselves is learning we are never alone." The retreat will begin on Friday evening at 7 p.m. in the church and resume at 9 a.m. on Saturday, continuing until 12:30 p.m. For information, call the church at 949.494.3542.

Vice-president in
charge of revolution

by Malcolm Boyd
                
Is it time for a vice president in charge of revolution? Make any sense to you?   

Sometimes a book (or play or film) comes along that introduces new ways of perception or making sense. One of these (a classic, not a new title) is Vice President in Charge of Revolution, an autobiography by Murray D. Lincoln, co-written with David Karp. Lincoln was the president of the U.S. National Cooperative Business Association from 1941 to 1965. Read more here.
