 The Diocesan Women’s Winter Retreat was a splendid weekend at Camp St. Christopher, Feb. 12-14. With nearly 100 women, the retreat was at planned capacity. Anticipation was high and the “buzz” for ECW was overwhelming. With CHAP already our ECW Diocesan Project for the year, the earthquake in Haiti, the economy, our role as sisters in Christ needed inspiration, edification and the Word. The book of Ruth, led by our Bishop Mark Lawrence, became alive with a room full of living examples of Naomi and Ruth. We were together, surrounded by the Holy Spirit. The snow on Friday night was beautiful, hiking with the Bishop on Saturday afternoon was a great fun option, but…..relaxing in the Spirit where you know that every moment is blessed….was perfection! Our hearts were set right to know the hope, embrace the love, and step out in faith as we respond to the call of Isaiah 6:8, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord calling, “Whom shall I send and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Diocesan ECW President
In Time of Great Sickness and Mortality
O MOST mighty and merciful God, to whom alone belong the issues of life and death; In this time of grievous hurt and harm, with great death and destruction in Haiti, we flee unto thee for relief. Deliver them, we beseech thee, from their peril; give strength and skill to thy ministers of healing and aid; bless the means of cure; and grant, that, perceiving how frail is our earthly life, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leadeth to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

This prayer was distributed and used in the Friday prayer service during the recent Mere Anglicanism Conference in Charleston, SC.
 On October 19, Bishop Julio Cesar Holguin arrived in Charleston to celebrate the partnership between the mission Diocese of the Dominican Republic and the South Carolina Episcopal Diocese, which has enjoyed a relationship with the Dominican Republic for the past forty years.

 | | Seven Episcopal Dioceses Meet to Begin Missional Relationships |
 Clergy and lay representatives from seven dioceses in The Episcopal Church, as well as six bishops with Episcopal jurisdiction, met in Charleston, S.C. on November 3-4, 2009 to consider ways they might assist each other in more effectively reaching their communities and the world for Christ. More specifically, in keeping with General Convention resolution B030, which encouraged domestic Dioceses within The Episcopal Church to enter into missional relationship, this meeting encouraged the dioceses to consider what resources they can share with each other and work more closely to further the Gospel mission. Evangelizing and reaching the unchurched; catechizing and discipling the converted; assisting members in generational faithfulness; renewing, strengthening and growing existing parishes; and planting new congregations to reach their communities with the Gospel were the areas of greatest interest.
To this end, through the work of some of the Communion Partner bishops and rectors, along with others, these Dioceses in Missional Relationships will begin by hosting two initiatives for the purpose of encouraging and equipping missionally focused dioceses, congregations and individuals through:
1. Establishing a website for sharing resources and networking for ministry and mission. It is their intention to have this ministry-networking initiative functioning in an initial stage during Epiphany 2010; and,
2. Sponsoring a large venue three day event in Dallas, September 23—25, 2010. This event will be for the purpose of encouraging, empowering, emboldening and equipping missionally focused individuals, congregations and dioceses, as well as providing resources to assist each other to be more effective in reaching their communities for Christ and his Church.
Dioceses presently involved in this Gospel initiative are Albany, Central Florida, Dallas, North Dakota, South Carolina, Springfield, and Western Louisiana.
