The Episcopal Diocese of Spokane

“We call on all Anglicans… to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom: by recognising within science God-given resources for the life of faith, and thereby removing it as a barrier to proclamation and belief; by drawing on science as inspiration for our worship to the praise and glory of God.”

- The Lambeth Call [4.1]

(The Lambeth Calls relate to important themes in church and world affairs. They are offered as ‘calls’ or ‘invitations’ to the Anglican Communion and wider church).

Every fall we gather in our regions to share in formation and fellowship, learning and sharing. The time for this is always within 30 days of convention. It has never however, been the Saturday before, until now. But don’t panic! We will not be asking you to drive for a 5 hour meeting the week before convention, instead, we have a great opportunity to gather by zoom on October 12, from 10am- noon, to learn from Canon Stephanie Spellers (Canon to the Presiding Bishop) about engaging in deep listening and conversation. The program “From Many, One: Conversations across Difference is a program designed to help us learn how to engage our family, friends, and neighbors in meaningful ways that creates hospitable, respectful and generous space for story sharing. We will not gather in person this fall for gathering day, instead this zoom will be our gathering day. All are invited to join in this important learning. “Speak Lord, we are listening” – come learn another way to listen and love our neighbors on October 12, 10 am – noon.
