The Convocation of Episcopal Churches in EuropeSt. Michael's Church Thuringia is feeling blessed at Augustinerkloster - We were very happy to be able to make an ecumenical contribution to the Katholikentag in Erfurt on Thursday. The Munich English Choir conducted by Dr. Nick Ukiah sang a Choral Evensong for about 250 worshipers who joined us on Thursday at the Augustine Church for this special worship service that is largely made up of music and is based on the Book of Common Prayer. It is an Anglican tradition that can usually be experienced in the cathedrals and colleges of England. Our vicar, the Rev. Scott A. Moore, led the service, Moray Patterson assisted, and Christian Schramm played the organ. We would like to make this a tradition in Erfurt! Stayed tuned....😊
The Diocese of Long IslandThis article was published by Kirk Petersen of The Living Church
In 2019, Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) became the first Episcopal entity to make financial reparations for slavery, pledging $1.7 million to fund “activities and programs that promote justice and inclusion.” ... “A more committed and coordinated approach from the Episcopal Church can and should occur by having the establishment of an independent reparations fund commission,” said Penny Grinage, a lay deputy from the Diocese of Long Island. She testified May 23 at a hearing of the Racial Truth-Telling, Reckoning, & Healing committee in support of Resolution A015, “Owning a Commitment to Reparations.” ... Grinage’s own diocese is among those that have taken action already. “In 2021, the Diocese of Long Island established a reparations program where funds have been set aside to provide college scholarships and … [trade] school fees to the descendants of enslaved African people in the diocese.” The Episcopal Dioceses of Western New York & Northwestern PennsylvaniaEarlier this month, twelve Erie County, New York residents traveled to Albany for Jail Justice Advocacy Day to lobby for transparency in jail operations and improvements in human rights protections at state and local correctional facilities.
