We invite the members of our diocese to read together the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. From the beginning of Advent through Pentecost, we will explore the story of Jesus and the creation of the early church, as we deepen our discipleship and reflect on how the church can bear witness to Jesus’ love that overcomes all that divides us. As we read and study these stories, we hope that we will find ourselves called to become God’s Beloved Community in the diocese, in our individual parishes, and in our personal relationships.
