"The hard, good, God-driven work of being missional" -- Bishop Beckwith's address at the 139th Annual Convention

We are well launched into 2013, but many of us are still living in the wake of 2012. Hurricane Sandy blew through our region in late October, cutting off power in parts of every community in the diocese, flooding much of Hoboken and Little Ferry – and devastating the coasts of New Jersey, and Staten and Long Islands. The third and most vicious storm in fifteen months brought a new wave of awareness that our climate is becoming more fierce – and we are more vulnerable in the face of it.

"Daring to Be Missional" is focus of 139th Annual Convention

What does it mean to have a “missional” imagination? What is generated from this new place of creativity? And why is it so vital to design an environment that supports such conversations? All these questions will resonate later this week as representatives from congregations throughout the diocese gather to attend the 139th Annual Convention. Rooted in the Missio dei, which means "the sending of God," the theme to this year’s Convention, Daring to be Missional, promises to deliver an active and energizing agenda.

Recycling receptacles for empty bottles and cans and copy paper will be located next to trash collection containers in areas where we gather for convention activities.

Bottles, cans and copy paper can be mixed in the same receptacle.  The receptacles will be provided by the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority.

Mr. Dent Davidson, Associate of Arts and Liturgy with the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago will be preaching AND leading the music. Admired by many for his musical ministry in the Episcopal Church, Dent is well-known for the joyous music and song at the House of Bishops meetings. His enthusiasm is infectious as is his ability to create community while making music. There will be a brief rehearsal on Friday morning (January 25) at 11 a.m.
