Lester Mackenzie, chief of Mission Program, provides an update on The Episcopal Church\u2019s two largest events for young people.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May grace and peace be with you during these warm summer days.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After listening carefully and discerning with Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe, our leadership team, and many of you across the church, and reading\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Episcopal-EYE-Assessment-Report-FINAL.pdf\">this report<\/a>\u00a0on EYE (Episcopal Youth Event) from 2021, I write with a full heart and deep hope for the future of our youth gatherings. We are all asking the same questions; and after much prayer and conversation, I want to share where we feel called to go next.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Bishop Sean has said, \u201cWe will be a strong, adaptive church that communicates and embodies the depth of Christian spirituality and works toward The Episcopal Church\u2019s vision of God\u2019s kingdom by supporting ministry on the ground in dioceses.\u201d This vision guides these plans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EJE 2026 \u2013 A Celebration in Iglesia Episcopal en Colombia<\/strong><br\/>Encuentro de J\u00f3venes Episcopales<strong>\u00a0(<\/strong>EJE) will meet July 13\u201316, 2026, in Medell\u00edn, Colombia. This gathering will give Province IX a beautiful chance to celebrate faith, culture, and the gifts our young people bring. Our Mission Program team will work closely with Province IX leaders to bring this to life.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Looking Ahead to EYE 2028<\/strong><br\/>After EJE 2026, we will pause to pray and reflect on what Episcopal Youth Event should look like in 2028. This space will help us hear what our communities most need. Some have wondered if EYE could happen alongside General Convention. After looking at that carefully, we decided combining them would stretch our volunteers too thin and make it harder to honor the unique spirit of both events. We will preserve the essence of each gathering and fully support the Official Youth Presence at General Convention.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Regional Gatherings<\/strong><br\/>During late 2026 and 2027, we will invite dioceses, regions, and provinces to host smaller, more local gatherings where we can learn, connect, and try new ideas together.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After EJE 2026, we will gather young people, mentors, and leaders\u2014especially those from communities of color\u2014to help us imagine what comes next. You can expect to hear more about the timeline and opportunities to participate by fall 2026. We will move forward with purpose and care.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I sit with all of this, I keep thinking about Esther and her moment of purpose. Maybe you are here \u201cfor such a time as this.\u201d We must trust that good will grow from this work, even if we can\u2019t see it all yet. I ask for your prayers and your partnership. Here\u2019s how you can join us:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lift up young leaders in your communities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share this vision with others who care about youth ministry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk alongside us as we move through this transition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pray for our youth, their families, and the adult mentors who walk alongside them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for everything you do to keep the holy fire alive in our young people. Your dedication makes all the difference.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With deep gratitude,<br\/>Pax et bonum<br\/>Lester+<br\/>The Rev. Lester V.

Todos nos hacemos las mismas preguntas; y despu\u00e9s de mucha oraci\u00f3n y di\u00e1logo, quiero compartir el futuro que nos sentimos llamados a seguir.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Como dijo el Obispo Sean: \u00abSeremos una iglesia fuerte y adaptable que comunique y encarne la profundidad de la espiritualidad cristiana y labore por la visi\u00f3n del reino de Dios de la Iglesia Episcopal, apoyando el ministerio en las di\u00f3cesis\u00bb. Esta visi\u00f3n orienta estos planes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EJE 2026 \u2013 Una Celebraci\u00f3n en la Iglesia Episcopal en Colombia<\/strong><br\/>El Encuentro de J\u00f3venes Episcopales (EJE) tendr\u00e1 lugar del 13 al 16 de julio de 2026 en Medell\u00edn, Colombia. Este encuentro brindar\u00e1 a la IX Provincia una hermosa oportunidad para celebrar la fe, la cultura y los dones que aportan nuestros j\u00f3venes. Nuestro equipo del Programa de Misi\u00f3n trabajar\u00e1 en estrecha colaboraci\u00f3n con los l\u00edderes de la IX Provincia para darle vida a este evento.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mirando hacia el EYE 2028<\/strong><br\/>Despu\u00e9s del EJE 2026, haremos una pausa para orar y reflexionar sobre c\u00f3mo deber\u00eda ser el Evento Episcopal de la Juventud en 2028. Este espacio nos ayudar\u00e1 a comprender las necesidades m\u00e1s urgentes de nuestras comunidades. Algunos se han preguntado si el EYE podr\u00eda celebrarse junto con la Convenci\u00f3n General. Tras analizarlo detenidamente, decidimos que combinarlos sobrecargar\u00eda a nuestros voluntarios y dificultar\u00eda honrar el esp\u00edritu \u00fanico de ambos eventos. Preservaremos la esencia de cada reuni\u00f3n y apoyaremos plenamente la Presencia Oficial de la Juventud en la Convenci\u00f3n General.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reuniones Regionales<\/strong><br\/>A finales de 2026 y en 2027, invitaremos a las di\u00f3cesis, regiones y provincias a organizar reuniones m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as y locales donde podamos aprender, conectar y experimentar nuevas ideas juntos.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despu\u00e9s del EJE 2026, reuniremos a j\u00f3venes, mentores y l\u00edderes, especialmente de comunidades de color, para que nos ayuden a concebir el futuro. Recibir\u00e1n m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre el cronograma y las oportunidades de participaci\u00f3n para el oto\u00f1o de 2026. Avanzaremos con determinaci\u00f3n y cautela.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al reflexionar sobre todo esto, sigo pensando en Esther y su determinaci\u00f3n. Acaso est\u00e9n aqu\u00ed \u00abpara un momento como este\u00bb. Debemos confiar en que el bien surgir\u00e1 de este quehacer, aunque a\u00fan no podamos verlo todo. Les pido sus oraciones y su colaboraci\u00f3n. He aqu\u00ed como pueden unirse a nosotros:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Respalden a los j\u00f3venes l\u00edderes en sus comunidades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compartan esta visi\u00f3n con quienes se preocupan por el ministerio de la juventud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acomp\u00e1\u00f1enos en esta transici\u00f3n.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oremos por nuestros j\u00f3venes, sus familias y los mentores adultos que los acompa\u00f1an.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gracias por todo lo que hacen para mantener viva la llama sagrada en nuestros j\u00f3venes.
