BIBLE STUDY WITH THE BISHOP


With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place restrictions, the Bishop released regularly scheduled video messages, prayers and reflections to stay connected with the people of the Diocese.  His Wednesday message included a lesson/reflection, and is now a regular weekly feature to study the Bible.

Bible Study & Reflections 2021

Reflection, Theology, Q&A
(September-October 2020)

With the Bishop's schedule uncertain while preparing for this year's virtual Annual Meeting, he will be offering reflections on elements in the Book of Common Prayer and theology during the months of September and October. He will also be addressing questions and concerns you have on worship, theology, the practice of faith, or social issues.  If you have a question, please send it to the Bishop at Questions for the Bishop (be sure to include your name and congregation).  He will do his best to answer your questions.  Please note that this email address is only used for such questions and survey results.  The Bishop never uses it for communication. He looks to begin the Wednesday Scripture studies again in November after the October Annual Meeting of Diocesan Convention (October 24).
