Lambeth Conference
2022-07-26 00:00 - 2022-08-04 23:59 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
2022 is the year of the fifteenth Lambeth Conference. The theme is God’s Church for God’s World – Walking, Listening and Witnessing Together. The Lambeth Conference is a once-a-decade gathering of bishops from across the Anglican Communion.
Convened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the conference will meet in 2022. Before the conference meets, there will be time given for prayer, preparation and dialogue. There will be three phases to the Lambeth Conference journey.
This event plays an influential role in the life of the Anglican Church and gathers together bishops and spouses for prayer, bible study, worship and fellowship and helps shape the life of the Anglican Communion for the next decade.
As the Lambeth Conference explores the theme of being ‘God’s Church for God’s World’, the Biblical focus for the event will be the book of 1 Peter. A wide range of resources have been developed for use in Bible studies, discussions and seminars.

Final Quilt Workday
2022-08-18 09:30 - 12:00 | St. Clement’s, Rancho Cordova, 2376 Zinfandel Dr, Rancho Cordova, CA, 95670, United States
The diocesan quilt is ready to have the binding sewn onto its perimeter. This is the last step in the completion of the quilt. St. Clement’s, Rancho Cordova has generously offered their parish hall again, and I have scheduled a workday on Thursday August 18, from 9:30am to mid afternoon.

The first phase will be machine-sewing the binding and hanging sleeves to the edges of the quilt, which is estimated to take about an hour (maybe a little longer). Beginning about 10:30, there will be opportunities for more volunteers to hand-sew the binding and the hanging “sleeves” to the back side of the quilt.

Commission on the Environment
2022-09-08 13:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
The Northern California Diocese is beginning a new focus on our precious planet with the formation of a Commission on the Environment.

Church leaders voted to form the commission at the 2019 Diocesan Convention. After a delayed start, the commission now meets monthly and is beginning to shape practices to help individual churches do more for the environment, both in their own communities and globally.

The resolution forming the commission recognizes that, in many ways, our lifestyles have had a damaging impact on our environment and the habitats we share with other creatures. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has called on Episcopalians to “love God’s Creation” as God loves the world.

The new Commission on the Environment aims to help take us down this path. We will not issue edicts to churches. Rather, we will become a resource hub. Many churches in the diocese are already engaged in a variety of great environmental efforts, from producing their own solar power to including vegan options at coffee service. Many of these efforts link congregations with neighbors while reducing a church’s environmental footprint.

Numerous General Convention resolutions have called on Episcopalians to heal our planet from threats such as climate change and habitat destruction. They’ve encouraged practices such as energy and water efficiency, and sourcing locally grown food. The commission will examine these resolutions to identify projects for local churches. We will also highlight successful work, connect churches with project experts, and share best practices with those who wish to do more.

Our place in God’s Creation is inexorably linked with that of our neighbors. The Commission on the Environment acknowledges our interdependence with all life, and encourages us to collaborate for a better world. Working together with faith and determination, we may be able to heal some of the damage that’s been done.

The Commission’s next meeting is Thursday, September 8 at 1:00pm
via Zoom. To participate or learn more, please contact Miriam Casey at mlcasey7@yahoo.com.
