Moving Forward Graciously

May 17, 2022 Leave a Comment

It has long been the hope of the Church universal that we could live into Jesus’ final prayer for his disciples, “that they may all be one.” (John 17:21) Our unity undergirds the work of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world

From the Bishop: Graciously Moving Forward

May 3, 2022 Leave a Comment

Dear Friends, I confess my heart aches and grieves where we find ourselves. Our beloved church holds a diversity of opinions, and I understand that some sisters and brothers feel they must leave our Connection for the sake of their conscience concerning issues of human sexuality. As a believer facing hard realities, I draw strength… Continue Reading→

As your Bishop, I encourage you to read these words with your hearts and join in prayer for the people in Ukraine.

‘Make It Plain’

February 2, 2022 Leave a Comment

Black History Month often raises many questions and responses around why it is celebrated. Therefore, I ask for this moment of personal privilege, not as a debate (my heart has grown weary of that), but as an opportunity of witness. February, Black History Month, is a time to celebrate the resilient accomplishments of a people… Continue Reading→

The Beloved Community

Peace and Good Will: A Christmas Message from Bishop Leonard Fairley

December 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

Bishop Fairley’s Advent message reminds us of the “stubborn and audacious hope” we have in the one who is Emmanuel – God with us. As the Advent season begins, let us both be filled with that hope and carry that hope to a world that longs to hear it. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
