If you are wondering why Mother Charissa was not at Good Samaritan on Sunday, it's because she was at St Paul, Seattle for the baptism of her Godchild, Asher Jules.
After a day off on Monday, Tuesday brought the regular meeting of the The Bishop Rivera Fund Advisory Committee, the Richard Younge Curacy Fund Committee and the 2% BIPOC Ministry Fund Committee. These groups are working with each other and with me to do their work.
Wednesday and Thursday I was part of several meeting including the weekly meeting of the Bishop's Exec Team. I had a wonderful conversation with the Rev. Ruth Ann Garcia about her work as the new interim priest at St James, Kent. She is working with the Rev. Anges Kuria who is gathering a worshipping community that is primarily Kenyan. They are both doing great work and I'm looking forward to visiting there in the new year.
Also on Thursday, I met with the Beloved Community Team of St Matthew's, Browns Point. They are at the start of a project to move their racial justice and reconciliation work ahead. That work is being funded in part by a grant from the multicultural ministries budget.
Friday I hit road and went to Huston Camp and Conference Center. The Aspirants Retreat took place there on November 10-11. I was on the program with the Rev. Arienne Davison, Canon to the Ordinary, to talk about the orders of the church and life in holy orders.
