Greetings from Kigali, Rwanda where we are attending GAFCON 4 (Global Anglican Futures Conference).

Are you looking for encouraging, edifying stories that show how God is at work in the Anglican Church in North America?

Around 17 participants, including Bishop Chris and Catherine Warner, from the Diocese have arrived in Kigali, Rwanda for the fourth meeting of the Global Anglican Future Conference (April 17-21, 2023).

“The world will see a community of faith that is willing to make lasting lifestyle changes in response to what it cares about, and that will speak more powerfully than any post or placard.”

The Archbishop's School for Young Leaders (ASYL) is designed to join you in equipping young people for kingdom service in their local communities. 

Blessings to you as you behold the beauty of the Lord and his immense truth and grace on display through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul so eloquently writes, ‘For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”’ (Rom 1:16-17).

Throughout the Anglican communion there are resources to help during this period. Below we are providing resources to aide you and your parish going into this season. We hope this is helpful as you prepare for the upcoming Lent.

In this issue of the Apostle, we dig into the ministry of relationship, sharing the stories of a Rector who was adopted and reunited with his birth mother later in life, a campus minister leading a thriving ministry with college students, a unique cross-cultural experience in Uganda, and Knoxville’s “scruffy” kind of hospitality.

The latest NGLI newsletter has specific opportunities for various ministries, including family, students and young leaders, and women.
