Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Diocese of San Joaquin,
As many of us are aware at this moment the protests in the Capital have turned violent – even damaging the capital and making entrance in an apparent attempt to disrupt the certification of the election. As Christians we are people of order and peace and I bid you to join me in prayer for an end to violent protest and a restoration of order in the smooth transition of power which marks the very foundation of our democracy. Let us pray… “O God of Grace and Mercy, we pray your hand of peace to rest upon our nation’s capital. We pray for order to be restored and for the protection of our lawmakers. Even as we bid your peace dear Lord we pray for unity – that our identity as Christians first and citizens second will override our partisan ideology. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ who is the true lawmaker and redeemer. Amen.”

Anglicans For Life (AFL) is the only global Anglican ministry dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia through ministry, education, pastoral care, and biblical advocacy in partnership with churches in the Anglican Communion.
In January, AFL is taking one of the biggest steps it’s made in more than 25 years. The ministry will livestream its annual Summit on January 16 and 23. For the first time ever, every single Anglican with an internet connection can access the Summit's life-changing, life-affirming training. Summit 2021 features outstanding keynote speakers and workshop leaders, equipping attendees with Life-Affirming teaching and ministry inspiration. SUMMIT 2021 takes place on two consecutive Saturdays in January, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. EST. We've received wonderful news that our companion diocese, the Diocese of Kigezi in Uganda, has received the donation we gathered and has started using it to rebuild after the flooding and other struggles they've faced this year. Thank you so much again to everyone who contributed, and thanks be to God! |
