THE ROYAL CROSS NATIONAL PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Sisters in Christ, There are many times when I wish it were possible to just stuff you all in my pockets and take all 10,000 of you along. Since that is impossible, I want to attempt to share with you some of my experiences of the past few months. On May 13th Laraine Dennstaedt and I attended the Diocese of Connec- ^ ticut Assembly at St. Mark's in New Britain, CT. Laraine gave an infor- IgjB mative and enthusiastic program/workshop. The next day we were guests for W their ECW Convention with 700 in attendance. While in New York, my husband and I visited The Church of The Resurrec- k tion on 74th Street near Park Avenue where our Order began in 1885. It was the secretary's day off, but she graciously met us and gave us a tour and history of the Church. As we left the church Henry looked up and saw Buckley School, which he attended as a youngster, across the street. At the end of May I attended a three day meeting of the Council for Women's Ministries(CWM) at St. Columba Conference Center in Memphis, TN. Prior to the meeting. Daughters in the Memphis area met me at the air- port, gave a lovely luncheon at a local club, allowed me to tell my story, and delivered me to St. Columba's. I truly believe that hospitality is a gift as well as a service — Romans 12:13. What an honor to have been invited to the Presiding Bishop's Vision Conference in New Jersey. It was an interesting gathering of approximately fifty, representing many groups in the Episcopal Church. Since Bishop Browning's election, he has been listening to the Church. He shared what he has heard and his concerns. The group studied the eight "mission imperatives" that have been proposed by the Ex ecutive Council of the Episcopal Church and staff. This may be a first in our 102 year history that we were included in such a meeting. I know you share with me in expressing gratitude to Bishop Browning for including the Daughters of the King. I have just returned from the North American Congress on the Holy Spirit and World Evangelization held in New Orleans, LA., in July. There were over 40,000 in attendance. The Roman Catholics had the largest number, 14,000, and the Episcopalians were next with 2,500. The Episcopalians began each day with the Holy Eucharist followed by several excellent speakers. We attended two workshops each after noon, and in the evenings all forty plus denominations gathered in the Super Dome for an ecumenical worship service. The message of this conference was unmistakeably clear - Our Lord Jesus wants us to repent — to be empowered by His Holy Spirit so that we might do the work He has called us to do,"For His Sake" — Lord, what will you have me do? I love you all, "For His Sake" ~e^e/
The following was submitted by invitation for a booklet: THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE 1990'S, EXPECTATION FOR A NEW DECADE published by Episcopal Renewal Ministries for the North American Congress on the Holy Spirit and World Evangelization held in New Orleans, LA.

HOW DO YOU FORM A JR. DAUGHTERS CHAPTER? Many times I have been asked the question, "How do you form a Jr. Daughters chapter?" My first response is, "Write to the National Office and request the information. You will be sent the appropriate application forms and additional in formation."
