Religious sisters and brothers are eccentrics. I’m not referring to our being rather dated curiosities (though we often do attract attention). I’m speaking of how, since the early centuries of the church, individuals have been drawn to the edge, to be eccentric, from the Greek èkkentros, out of the center.

A pastoral word to The Episcopal Church from the March 2026 gathering of the House of Bishops
Dear people of God: Grace and peace to you in Jesus Christ our Lord…The bishops of The Episcopal Church gathered from March 17-24 at Camp Allen Conference Center in Navasota, Texas. Our gathering included 122 bishops and bishops-elect, representing 89 dioceses and special ministries across 17 countries and territories. As we conclude our meeting, we give thanks for the mutual affection and fruitful collaboration we experience during our time together, and we renew our commitment to bear witness with clarity and unity to the transforming power of the Gospel.

Today, the need of the church in the Holy Land is greater than ever, particularly given the recent escalation of war in the Middle East, and I hope you will join me in making a generous gift today at iam.ec/goodfridayoffering.
