Presiding Bishop Michael Curry's Sermon to the 232nd Annual Convention of ECCT |
In this moment - when the stain of bigotry has once again covered our land, and when hope, frankly, sometimes seems far away, when we must now remember new martyrs of the way of love like young Heather Heyer - it may help to remember the deep wisdom of the martyrs who have gone before.
We write to you on this day following the events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Once again a community in our nation has been torn apart by senseless violence resulting in bloodshed and death. We celebrate and uphold our country’s rights of free speech and assembly. We cannot condone, however, any actions motivated by racism and hate. Each and every one of us is created in the image of God. To believe or act as if one race is of more value in God’s eyes than another is sinful. We stand against such brokenness, hatred and division. And we stand with those who work for peace and justice for all. 
Bishop Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford, Church of England, will be the featured speaker for a three-night "Come and See" revival at St. Stephen's, Ridgefield.
He will also give a presentation at Christ Church Cathedral in Hartford Aug. 29 from 12:30 - 3 p.m.
The Hartford event is called, "Sharing Our Faith: Evangelism for a Post-Christendom World." Tickets are $15 and include a light lunch of sandwiches or salad, plus fruit or pasta salad on the side, and bottled
water. 
This signature teen performance program at Hartford Stage is truly special. Last year's performance was a highlight of my first year in Hartford. Witnessing teen performers dig into Shakespeare's rich language, and then seeing them erupt into exuberant dance - the combination becomes a dynamic art form unto itself, full of energy and passion!.

Cathedral Discernment Report
Christ Church Cathedral embarked in a discernment journey of 18 months to answer pivotal questions such as what it is a Cathedral in the 21 Century? Does the Episcopal Church in Connecticut needs a Cathedral? If so, is Christ Church at the Corner of Church and Main up to live into a new vision?
A Task Force appointed by Bishop Douglas led our discernment process. On November 2015, a final discernment report was presented to the Annual Convention of The Episcopal Church in Connecticut. Christ Church Cathedral was reaffirmed as the Cathedral of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut... +Continue Reading
