Deacons and the Liturgy

It was my privilege today to conduct a workshop on 'Deacons:  Don't Preside Without One' for participants in the 2014 Conference of the Association of Anglican Deacons in Canada.  I have provided links below to the PowerPoint presentation and an audio recording of the workshop.

15 March 2014: Deacons' Retreat for the Dioceses of Olympia and New Westminster

Dear Friends,

This Sunday I shall be enjoying a Sunday off from preaching.  Instead, I am at Camp Huston (Gold Bar, WA) for the Deacons' Retreat for the Dioceses of Olympia and New Westminster.  I was privileged to give three talks.  Click on the title to hear the talks as they were given today.

Mission as Leitourgia

Church as Ekklesia

Ministry as Episkope, Koinonia and Diakonia

On Monday I'll be posting our order of service for Sunday the 23rd and, I hope, a link to an audio recording of Sunday's sermon by the Rev'd Chris Dierkes.

Next Saturday look for my reflections on Psalm 95.

Blessings to you all,

Richard+
