Dear sis­ters and brothers:

As many of you know, Bishop Charles Murphy, together with Bishops Alexander Greene, Thomas Johnston, Jr., Philip Jones, John Miller, Todd Hunter, David Loomis, John Rodgers, and Canadian Silas Tak Yin Ng sud­denly with­drew from Rwanda. The deci­sions of the for­mer Primatial Vicar of Anglican Mission In The Americas have cre­ated con­fu­sion and con­ster­na­tion across a wide spec­trum of Christians: Anglican and otherwise.

In the con­text of quickly chang­ing cir­cum­stances in AMiA, among the very best news in the last sev­eral weeks is that Rwanda has acted to give us epis­co­pal over­sight. The fol­low­ing is a for­mal announce­ment from the Apostles’ Mission Network web site (http://​www​.apos​tlesmis​sion​.org/​t​r​a​n​s​i​t​i​o​n​/​i​t​e​m​/​2​1​-​c​o​m​m​u​n​i​q​u​e​-​f​r​o​m​-​b​i​shops– terrell-glenn-and-thad-barnum-regarding-amia-pear.html).

For those who don’t quite know how to process the sit­u­a­tion, Mark Galli (Sr. Editor at Christianity Today and a mem­ber of AMiA) helps us see the key ele­ment: http://​mark​galli​.com/​?​p=244.

Pastor Mark

We have just updated our list of Small Groups and Bible Studies. There is truly some­thing for just about every­one on just about any day of the week!

Pastoral poli­cies regard­ing sev­eral com­mon top­ics have been added under the “About Us” menu item. Most impor­tantly, these poli­cies now reflects the recent pol­icy deci­sions made regard­ing com­mu­nion and confirmation.

Being “reli­gious” is bor­ing. Being a “Radical Disciple” of the Lord Jesus — now that’s some­thing else. Using John’s Stott’s excel­lent lit­tle work on com­mit­ted dis­ci­ple­ship under Jesus, this group meets on the 3^rd Wednesday of each month at 7.30 pm at the home of the Freisheims. See the Small Groups page for the most recent info.
