Search for hyper-local news that presents us “with an opportunity to love, to pray, to serve, or to celebrate at the human level.” The only way to find this news is by engaging in conversations with our neighbors, friends, and family.

Laurel Taylor, a high school librarian, used some of the tools she uses with her students and added specific advice for Christians looking to read and share the news in ways that reflect God’s call to love our neighbors and invest in the communities in which He has placed us.

None of us expected to still be experiencing a quarantine during another Lent, yet so many churches have offered meaningful ways to gather and reflect together. Well done!

When the pandemic first started in March 2020, Korean Anglican (Lutherville, MD) uploaded a PowerPoint version of the service on YouTube so people could follow along with the virtual service on YouTube. Before this point, our congregation only met in person at Resurrection Anglican in Luthersville with very little online presence. Almost immediately, several fellow Anglicans in other states and in Korea began watching the sermons.

A year of quarantine has only increased the creativity of children, youth, and family ministries. It is amazing to see how churches in the Diocese are encouraging all ages to draw closer to the Lord during Lent, even while apart.

In February, Tori (my wife)i and I were the self-proclaimed "burrito-bandits", delivering burritos and desserts to students as we race across campus. It's been so fun!

And now it is my great joy to announce to you that we have called the Rev. Tuck Bartholomew as our new Canon for Church Planting.

Holy Spirit Anglican (Lewes, DE) uses the Meager Meal weekly Lenten event as an introduction, not only to Jesus or some aspect of the Christian faith, but as an opportunity to invite people outside the church to grow in their faith.

We thank God for the ordinations of David Comeau.

Publication of Macalla paused in the Spring of 2016. Fall 2020 brought a new invitation - the need now existed for people to process their pandemic experiences and reflections.

In this so-aptly-named “Covidtide” season, meeting new people is difficult. It seems to predominantly occur through neighborhood friendships or online discovery, which is difficult to target geographically. All the third spaces (e.g. pubs, coffee shops, etc.) just aren’t there in the way they were a year ago,…

Anglican Church in North America churches in Texas are reaching out to those left hungry, thirsty, and homeless due to the ice, extreme cold, and the widespread power outages affecting the region.

It is with great joy that the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic invites you to meet the Rev. Dr. Tuck Bartholomew.

There are no recipes or formulas for healthy church growth. Giving each of these five questions your attention will not necessarily lead to new people visiting and joining, but they will help you do your part in preparing to respond to God’s work.

This season of Lent is a time of self-examination and repentance. It is not 40 days for feeling guilty, as if we can’t be forgiven until Easter.

The next few months are when college students begin thinking about summer jobs. Likewise, we are beginning to think about another summer intern cohort at the diocesan level. We have resources available on our website to help you get started, and you can learn more about last summer’s intern cohort here. Lastly, the Great Commission Committee has grant money available to churches for summer intern programs.

We thank God for the ordinations of Steve Brooks and Jamie Brown.
