What is the ARDF?
The Anglican Relief and Development Fund has been around since 2004, but with this long name it can sometimes be confusing to know who they are and what they do. Thankfully, their mission can be explained by their acronym: ARDF.

Trinity Burke Church Plant: A logo, a website, a shower!
Starting a new church is a bit like having a baby. There’s all sorts of stuff that is needed to gather a group of people for public worship, and it all costs money that a new baby church doesn’t have. So we’ve pulled together a “registry” so that friends and family and the church can give towards specific, tangible items needed to help us move into this next season.

Church Planting in the Diocese
Church Planting is central to the mission strategy of the Diocese. Since its founding, the diocese has consistently devoted itself to planting a thriving network of Anglican churches throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
Summer Lunch Blessings
I remember one evening at our Creative Thinking club, we were sharing our "Highs and Lows" for the day and one of our children's low was that he did not get his free lunch that day because there was no school. When we heard this, our team knew how important it would be to implement this lunch program at BE Transformed.
Celebrating the Gift of Work: A Devotional for Labor Day
Celebrate the gift of work, and the gift of human labor - knowing that in the Lord, God has established the work of our hands - our labor is not in vain.
Hurricane Ida: The Anglican Response
On Sunday August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida slammed into the coast of Louisiana with sustained winds just below that of a category five hurricane. We are praying for those without power and for those affected by flash floods and heavy rainfall.
While the extent of the damage from Ida is not yet known, we are excited to announce that the Anglican Church is ready.
Training for Treasurers & Financial Administrators
On August 28, the Diocese hosted an online training event for church treasurers, as well as vestry members, administrators, clergy, or finance committee members. This training included topics such as: “Top 10 things I wish someone had told me”” and “common financial pitfalls.” The recording of the training and all of the resources are available on the diocesan website.
Afghan Refugees: What You Can Do
In recent weeks, as we have read the news from Afghanistan, our hearts are troubled. As our military mission there has ended, so many Afghan refugees are arriving here – and the DC/Maryland/Virginia area is a major focus for their immediate resettlement. In short, we have a missional opportunity to show the love of Christ to these Afghan families, our new neighbors, welcoming the stranger (Matt. 25:39) and showing true hospitality to those in need. We have an unprecedented opportunity work in unity with area churches to meet these needs.
Essential Christianity
The Christian Faith is exceedingly beautiful, expansive, and compelling. Sometimes, though, its beauty gets obscured or dulled in our minds and hearts. "Essential Christianity" is a 9-week, online course taught by Rev. Bill Haley meant to bring us back in touch with the expansive beauty of the Christian Story.
Regenerations' Path Through the Wilderness
Our deepest desire as human beings is to know and be known by God and others. What do you do when unwanted sexual behavior and unhealthy relationships prevent you from making those God ordained connections? Regeneration’s Path through the Wilderness is a program to help individuals find healing and transformation so they can experience true intimacy with God and others.
The Golden Rule Is Worth Its Weight in Platinum
So, how should Christians respond to the rising popularity of the Platinum Rule? Obviously, I don’t think we want to say that Jesus’ words can be improved upon. How can we “honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks [us] for a reason for the hope that is in [us]?” (1 Peter 3:15)
