A Special Message from Bishop Chris
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I hope this message finds you well as we begin to dig out from the weekend’s snowstorm. I write to you now with a pastor’s heart, aware that many of us are carrying growing concern about what is unfolding in Minnesota and the current affairs in our beloved nation. This is a special word, offered not to inflame or alarm, but to invite prayerful reflection. Twin responses, anxiety and outrage, have become all too common in our public life, neither of which leads us closer to the peace of Christ. I ask that you read what follows slowly and attentively, resisting these twin temptations.

Anglicans for Life Prayer Calendar
Hello and Happy 2026! I’m curious, have you ever wanted to see into the future to know what would happen? There have been times when I wished God would have given me foreknowledge before an event happened, so I would have responded with more grace and mercy, and less drama – and angst! But I have always believed that while prophecy is still possible and important to pay attention to – knowing the future is best entrusted to God’s will and sovereignty.
