(Be sure to allow the app to access your camera and microphone, if requested.

If you don't want to use the app, or are using a device that can't download the app, you can go to the website for Zoom: https://zoom.us On the upper right hand side of your screen, there will be a tab titled "Join a Meeting." Click on that tab and you will be prompted to enter a "Meeting ID or Personal Link Name." The "Meeting ID" can be found toward the bottom of the invitation.

I am very pleased at the news that Bishop Sarah Mullally, who has served as bishop of London since 2018, has been named the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. She will be the first woman to hold the role, which was established more than 1,400 years ago. 

Bishop Sarah is known in the Church of England as a wise and steady leader, a faithful advocate for the leadership of women in the church, and a bishop who will be committed to safeguarding vulnerable people and victims of abuse. She is a former nurse who served as the government’s chief nursing officer for England and has dedicated her vocational life to serving those in need. Earlier today, when asked about her two careers, she said, “I prefer to think that I have always had one vocation: to follow Jesus Christ."

In the last several years, Bishop Sarah has led Living in Love and Faith, the Church of England’s process to discuss issues of human sexuality, and called the 2023 decision by that church’s General Synod to bless same-sex couples “a moment of hope.” 

I have written to Bishop Sarah to send my warmest congratulations to her, her husband, Eamonn, and their family, and to tell her how much I look forward to working with her at the primates meeting and across the Anglican Communion. 

Please join me in praying for the Church of England, for all of the primates and churches of the Anglican Communion, and for Bishop Sarah at this momentous time.

Dear Friends,

While Baptism can be offered at any time, the Book of Common Prayer imagines four occasions during the Church year when baptisms are "especially appropriate (p.312)." One of those occasions is coming up on November 2, the Sunday after All Saints.

If you, or your child, would like to be baptized on this day, please let me know, as I will be hosting a class on Baptism on October 26th that all candidates or their parents need to attend in order to be baptized on November 2nd. This class will be offered via Zoom for those who are out of town.

If this date doesn't work for you, please let me know, and we can discuss another date. Again, Baptisms can occur at any time, but only after proper instruction has taken place. I look forward to hearing from you.

Faithfully,

 --
The Very Rev. Br. Tyler C. Richards, OCS
Dean
