Did you know that the Episcopal Church established a War Commission during the First World War? The address was 14 Wall Street, New York, and the coadjutor bishop of Southern Ohio, the Right Rev. Theodore Irving Reese, held the job of chairman of the executive committee. He wrote to the Rev. Benjamin N. Bird, serving as a civilian chaplain at Camp Meade, Maryland, on October 3, 1918, about resources available during the influenza epidemic.

Baltimore Faith Leaders Call for Justice, Peace and Prayer

Jun 3, 2020

We applaud and stand with all who are raising their voices in protest against this latest injustice, and the entrenched, systemic racism in our society that it reflects. We most especially applaud all those on our streets and in our communities who are refusing to join individuals – often not from our own communities – who would cause the safety of our people, neighborhoods and institutions to be torn asunder by reckless violence.

ENCOUNTER THE STORY

From the Archives: Reopening St. Paul’s, Sharpsburg

Jun 10, 2020 | Archives and History, Encounter

Many of us may be wondering how the church is ever going to “get back to normal” when this pandemic crisis finally comes to an end. It may ease our minds a little if we think back to even bleaker times and discover the resilience of the people of God, the Church, when faced with seemingly unsurmountable odds against survival.

From the Archives: Without Value

May 27, 2020 | Archives and History, Encounter, Featured post, Truth and Reconciliation

“We have stored away in cupboards great quantities of Bishop Paret’s correspondence and all of Bishop Murray’s and all of mine as Archdeacon. To my mind, all this correspondence is without any value whatsoever. …No one, even should a history of the Diocese of Maryland be written, would have time to go through all such correspondence.

Upholding our Community of Love

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank everyone for their continued support of our diocese and the work we are called to do here. We were reminded recently of some dialogue from JRR Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring: “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
