 St Alban’s Episcopal Church Bolivar, Missouri Sunday, May 1, 2022 3rd Sunday of Easter Very good news! (Besides the Resurrection, I mean) Ryan Williams We received a letter this week from Bishop Diane Bruce – which, because I was away I did not see until today, which reads: Dear Ryan, At the Standing Committee meeting on Sunday April 24, 2022, the members unanimously endorsed you as a Candidate for Holy Orders. This is an important step in the discernment process of your journey with the Lord, and I hereby confer upon you the status of Candidate for Priesthood. I would ask you to familiarize yourself with the canons which specifically address the requirements and expectations of a Candidate. May the Lord continue to bless your discernment and your preparation work. Blessings, The Rt. Rev. Diane M Jardine BruceBishop Provivional of West Missouri This is actually a Very Big Deal and I know you will want to thank God, and to congratulate him! Cathy+   |
