New from the Identity Task ForceA new booklet about Episcopal Identity and Evangelism is now available! Designed to be used in a 5-week series, the study encourages adults in the Episcopal church to reflect on what is attractive, unique, and challenging about being a member of this peculiar and exciting church. Sessions include short presentations, lots of discussion and practice, and corporate prayer. The study guide used the findings of the Identity Task force, listening carefully to what members of the focus groups all over the diocese identified as important to them. It was written primarily by task force member the Rev. Dan Handschy, with assistance from Jane Klieve, task force chair, and Heidi Clark, diocesan staff for Christian Education.
