Building and Supporting Strong

Communities of Faith

Election engagement also means we seek to stay informed; critically evaluate information before we share or act on it; and engage in respectful political dialogue even when we disagree.

Bishop Brown’s Sabbatical

From June 24 until the end of October Bishop Brown will be on sabbatical. His return to official duties and to us will be the 207th Annual Diocesan Convention on Nov. 7.

While he is away, Bishop Brown will neither receive nor be able to respond to emails, phone calls, or texts. He plans to spend his sabbatical visiting with family, resting, traveling, and learning.

During this time, Canon to the Ordinary Teresa Pinney will be in charge of diocesan operations. If a situation arises that requires a bishop, she and Mark Spahr, president of the Standing Committee, will contact a retired bishop ready to help if needed.

Please join us in keeping Bishop Brown in your prayers during this period of rest and renewal.

Worship

The Episcopal Diocese of Maine participates in creative, energizing worship to praise and thank God, to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and to pray for ourselves and others. We gather as Jesus invited us, around a community table with bread and wine, to celebrate His risen presence and to be renewed and strengthened for the work God gives us to do.
