Dear friends in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Women in ministry and other interested friends are invited to join a conversation with Bishop LaTrelle Easterling and me on Tuesday, August 31, from 1 – 2:15 pm.

Bishop Easterling leads the Baltimore-Washington Conference and has given stellar prophetic leadership in justice, equity and inclusion. She navigated with grace and discipline the deep conflict through the last election and the January 6 insurrection. Her courage and faith have graced my life as we have served together on the Task Force on Anti-Racism of the Council of Bishops, and I am humbled and honored to pass leadership of that group to her in this season.

I hope to spend some time this last day of August with you as we joyfully encourage one another through conversation and witness.

Gratefully,
Bishop Hope
