Picture
​ With the COVID-19 crisis a term you may hear often in churches is spiritual communion, but what is it? Throughout its history the church has always emphasized the importance of the Eucharist. In the Reformation the Anglican reformers intended the Eucharist to be the primary act of worship on Sundays, but over time the standard became Morning Prayer. It wasn’t until the Anglo-Catholic movement in the 19th century that Eucharist started to become a weekly norm.

​Dear Brothers & Sisters of the Diocese of San Joaquin,

​A very blessed St. Patrick’s Day to you all! St. Patrick is the very model of an Evangelist, Bishop and Child of God who, in the midst of incredible adversity surly and calmly shared the love of Jesus Christ and brought people to a saving relationship with him. Let us learn from his example and that of all the saints to be a calm and steady presence of hope and love in the midst of this global pandemic. Let is never forget that Jesus Christ is still the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

I write to this morning, after our President, Governor and our own local authorities have strongly advised no gatherings of 10 or more people and, for those of you in the Bay Area, to shelter in place. Therefore, I am asking you to offer your worship services on a virtual platform rather than hold in person meetings. These are extreme measures I realize but for the health and welfare of everyone, and especially those at risk, I encourage the following steps:

​Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

The global spread of COVID-19, the coronavirus, has become a focus of attention and concern for many of us. Many bishops, diocesan leaders, and experts in the field of medicine have consulted with the Province since this disease was first reported.

Drawing on their deep wisdom, I offer these points, which speak to both the physical and spiritual concerns that naturally occur at a time like this:

Dear Brothers & Sisters of the Diocese of San Joaquin,

I write to you because the news coverage on the Corona Virus (COVID 19) outbreak has raised questions & concerns for our congregations. In addition, the most recent case in the bay area brings this close to home.

First, pray for those afflicted around the world, for God to guide government and medical leaders in for caring the sick, and for the development of new vaccines.

Second, be aware that the impact in the United States is still quite limited (14 confirmed cases in the US as of 2/26) and our country is well positioned to deal with any outbreaks.
