Bishop Hughes' Vlog
Bishop Hughes notes that this year's Confirmands are giving different reasons for seeking confirmation than in previous years. Instead of saying they're doing it because it's expected, most are now saying it's because "I want to know God more" or "I want to take my place in the church." For those of us who've already found our place in the church, Bishop Hughes has some suggestions about how we can support our Confirmands as they find theirs. (Time: 5:19.)

Who are the people that need Christ's compassion? Who are the people that need his love? Who are the people who are looking for companionship, that need a blessing, that need to know that they are cared about? Wherever you see those people you are seeing through the mind of Christ, you are seeing through the eyes of Christ, and you are seeing Christ in another person. (Time: 2:50.)

This year we are entering Lent after learning that President Jimmy Carter, at 98 our longest-living former president, has entered hospice care. Bishop Hughes reflects on the example he has set of living one's faith out loud as an unabashed Christian and urges us to consider what this would look like for each of us.

From Bishop Hughes
"Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." (BCP p 100)
Dear Companions in Faith,
The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was a shock to all of us. The country and the world have been appalled and saddened that political life in the United States has become characterized by violence.
God willing, and the People of God consenting, the Right Reverend Carlye J. Hughes, XI Bishop of Newark, will ordain Jacqueline McLeod and Annie Pike to the Vocational Diaconate.

"When we find the space to be in God's presence, we enter into that peace that passes all understanding," says Bishop Hughes. "And imagine what it would do for all of your holiday celebrations. It changes not only you, but it changes everyone who is around you." (Time: 5:01.)
The Union of Black Episcopalians Diocese of Newark Chapter 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.
