Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe: Invest in young leaders through the Absalom Jones Fund
Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church: Last year, I had the honor to preach at the historic African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas on the Feast of Absalom Jones. That occasion gave me the opportunity to revisit the work that the Honorable Byron Rushing and Mr. Arthur Sudler have done to enlarge and correct our understanding of Blessed Absalom’s legacy and gave me renewed appreciation for the way in which the pastoral and the prophetic were intertwined in his ministry.Letter to Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe from Anglican Church of Canada Archbishop Shane Parker

Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church, if you imagine yourself as a character in the Gospel Nativity readings, you’ll soon realize that the first Christmas was not about staying home by a warm hearth with chestnuts roasting and stockings hanging. Everyone in these passages is on the move, mostly without warning and against their will. Joseph and Mary are summoned from Nazareth to Bethlehem for a census. Shepherds, at the behest of an angel, leave their sheep in the fields to see what all the fuss is about. And the three Magi, my favorites, are just sitting there minding their own kingdoms when a star intrudes on their lives and leads them on an unplanned and uncomfortable trip far away from home.
What We Believe
The mission of The Episcopal Church, as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism, is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” In step with that mission, we follow Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth.
