Becoming Beloved Community – The Reparations Fund of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland
For decades, the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland has examined its history and wrestled with how we are called to repair the breach caused by slavery and racism. This post shares some insights into how our diocese moved from research and learning to funding and action guided by our Baptismal Covenant, which calls us into becoming a beloved community of love.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
From the Archives: Bishop Stone, Part II
Bishop Stone’s tenure as Diocesan bishop may have been relatively brief, but he tried to navigate the divisions in the diocese and helped to transition the church into an era of growth, focusing on education, missionary work and clergy compensation. He was remembered as having lived “a life consecrated to Christ and His Church”.

ENCOUNTER THE STORY
St. Mary’s, Hampden, Part II
Saint Mary’s Outreach Center was begun in 2002 to respond to social and economic needs of the community, and the Episcopal Housing Corporation along with St. David’s Thrift shop were its first tenants. The Baltimore Shakespeare Festival, dedicated to producing affordable classical theater, used the church building as a theater for several years.
St. Mary’s, Hampden, Part I
Since the beginning of the century, small stone houses had been built for the mill workers in the area, and outsiders called the area “Slabtown,” presumably because of the architecture of the small houses. Both the inhabitants and the new stake-holders disliked the name, and Henry Mankin came up with the name Hampden, which sounded more distinguished.

Community is not scarce. Our Youth need it, and so do we.
Youth need a place to feel loved and accepted without having to work hard to prove themselves worthy. Young adults need help in figuring out who they are and where they belong. All of these things are what made me a believer as a young person, and they are why I take my rowdy kids to church.
