Bishop Consecration
2019-03-09 11:00 - 12:00
SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 11AM | CHURCH OF ALL NATIONS
Our new Bishop, The Rev. Jennifer Reddall, will be ordained and consecrated a Bishop in the one, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church and the sixth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona on Saturday, March 9 at Church of All Nations in Phoenix. Tickets will be required. For questions, please contact the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona.
“In this case, we have to wait for permission from the General Convention Office to be able to give out any other details. Permission will be granted after a certain number of consents are received from bishops and dioceses across The Episcopal Church.”
Did you know: all clergy are ordained for the WHOLE church—not just for a parish or a diocese. When a new bishop is elected in a diocese, the rest of The Episcopal Church must consent to that election. That means a 2/3 majority of the bishops who are already seated and a 2/3 majority of the Standing Committees (which are the elected governing bodies of a diocese made up of priests, deacons, and laity must be in agreement with the election. This assures that personal agendas are not driving the leadership of the church but that unity is prized above all so that the church can work together for our stated mission: “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ” (BCP 855).

Introduction to Taehs with Fr. Jim Clark
LEARNING TO STUDY AND PRAY WITH THE BIBLE
DECEMBER 3 & 10, 9AM | WE MEET IN SEAN’S PLACE
The Bible can seem like a distant book – distant in time, culture, and language. Our Saint Barnabas curriculum, The Art of Engaging Holy Scripture (taehs), attempts to bridge this distance through a lively and dynamic method of reading and study, prayer, and sharing in a small group. The dynamism of taehs immediately engages both beginners and experienced Bible readers.
On two Sundays, December 3 and 10 at 9AM in Sean’s Place (signs will help you find it), Father Jim will conduct an introduction to the taehs curriculum. Following this introduction, participants will be invited to join a taehs small group in January. If you are interested in learning about our curriculum, or if you want a fresh start with taehs, please join us!
