Letter from StGs Wardens
Dear St. G’s Family,
At 3:30 pm CST, August 15, the Diocese of Ohio announced that our beloved Mother Anne was named as a candidate, with 2 others, for the upcoming election for the Bishop of Ohio. Anne did not seek this circumstance, it was brought to her for careful consideration. After much discernment and spiritual counsel, she agreed to participate in the process.
Among Anne’s gifts are vision and openness to the Spirit. God is calling her and her family to consider this possible next step in her ministry. The vestry and staff are aware and are unified in support of her following where the Lord leads.
We ask you to hold Anne, David, Mary Katharine, Sloan and Christina up in prayer while in this process. Listen to the Holy Spirit.
Regardless of the outcome, which will take several months of conversation, prayer and further discernment in advance of the election, we continue as a community aligned to our future vision and mission. You can expect invitations for more conversations over this period, starting next Sunday, August 21. Please participate as much as you are able.
StGs remains an incredibly resilient congregation who have navigated change so exceptionally well. Together we live in this time of transition full of hope and confidence that God’s call for us all is good.
God’s Peace,
Susan Hitch Zint & Jim Millspaugh
St. Gregory’s Wardens
