Loving, Liberating and Life-giving
Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart, that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For centuries, monastic communities have shaped their lives around rhythms and disciplines for following Jesus together. The Way of Love: Practices for Jesus-Centered Life outlines a Rule for the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement.”

“Being a Christian is not essentially about joining a church or being a nice person, but about following in the footsteps of Jesus, taking his teachings seriously, letting his Spirit take the lead in our lives, and in so doing helping to change the world from our nightmare into God’s dream.”
Please make a gift and support the many ways in which we, together as The Episcopal Church, witness to the loving, liberating, and life-giving way of Jesus Christ. A gift to the BLESS Appeal is one way for all of us to be God’s blessings in this world!

The Episcopal Church’s newly released 2022 Parochial Report indicates signs of rebounding attendance after the COVID-19 pandemic, the impacts of which continue to present significant challenges for parishes. The report also shows that despite an overall trend in declining church membership, collective congregational giving remains steady.
Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry underwent a scheduled surgery today. He is out of surgery and resting and will be in the intensive care unit of the hospital for about 24 hours. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
