Bishop Beckwith

From Bishop Beckwith's blog:

In the dangerous and violent world we live in today, we desperately need blessings. People want to be blessed. Blessings, if grounded in God and not in ideology, are an antidote to delusion. I invite you to join me in offering public blessings – blessings for a wounded world – on Thursday, September 11, a day remembered for its violence and danger. I will offer blessings at Penn Station in Newark, the soup kitchen across from Episcopal House – and at the newly refurbished Military Park outside our Cathedral.

God willing and the people consenting, the Rt. Rev. Mark M. Beckwith, Bishop of Newark, will ordain The Rev. Deacon Ally Brundige to the sacred order of priests in Christ's one holy catholic and apostolic church.

On Sunday, February 8, 2015 the Diocese of Newark Chapter of the Union of Black Episcopalians will celebrate the life and ministry of the Rev. Absalom Jones, the first person of African descent ordained a deacon and priest in the Episcopal Church. The Rev. Dr. Mark Bozutti-Jones, Priest for Pastoral Care & Community at Trinity Church, Wall Street (NYC), will be the guest preacher and the Rt. Rev. Mark Beckwith, Bishop of of Newark, will be the principal celebrant at the festive Eucharist attended by parishioners and guests from around the Newark Diocese.

Bishop Mark Beckwith and a deputation of lay people and clergy will travel to Salt Lake City to represent the Diocese of Newark at the 78th General Convention of the Episcopal Church. Accompanying them for part of Convention will be a group of 11 youth and young adult observers, chaperoned by Kaileen Alston, diocesan Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries and the Rev. Robert Browning, Rector of Grace Church, Rutherford; and Nina Nicholson, diocesan Director of Communications & Technology, who will support the communications efforts of the Newark contingent.

God willing and the people consenting, the Right Reverend Mark M. Beckwith, Bishop of Newark, will ordain The Rev. Deacon Jerry Racioppi to the sacred order of priests in Christ's one holy catholic and apostolic church. Your prayers and presence are requested.
