In early May, the diocese is sponsoring two excellent opportunities for
parishes to improve their programs in stewardship and evangelism. 

 

EVANGELISM

for the Episcopal Church, will speak in Perry Auditorium on the seventh
floor of Washington National Cathedral. The Rev. Martin was formerly the
proprietor of the popular blog, Father Jake Stops the World, and now
keeps the blog Father T Listens to the World,
http://fathertlistenstotheworld.blogspot.com/ which focuses on
strategies for church growth and evangelism. Admission is free. Video of
previous presentations in the evangelism series, by the Very Rev. Ian
Markham, dean of Virginia Theological Seminary  and the Rev. David
Gortner, director of the Doctorate of Ministry program at  VTS will be
available soon at edow.org.

 

STEWARDSHIP

>From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 9 (Saturday), the diocese will host its annual
stewardship conference at Washington National Cathedral. The conference
