    THE Retirement Issue [IVING CHURCH. - . ~· cz;~ ~E EXTRAORDINAR Y VISION. ~ ision that was to become Vicar's Landing ~ ::.:Oated from a statement made in a sermon given by The Reverend Dr. James H. Cooper, then Rector of Christ Episcopal Church, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. On Pentecost Sunday, 1982, The Rev. Cooper suggested that retired residents of Ponte Vedra Beach had no community in the area where they could live in security, dignity and have the resort lifestyle to which they had become accustomed . That vision has now been realized as evidenced by the growth of Vicar'sLanding and more recently, Glenmoor in World Golf Village near St. Augustine, FL. Both Glenmoor and Vicar's Landing are setting new standards for what life care can be. The elegant residences, both apartments and homes, are nestled on spacious landscaped grounds in lovely resort settings. Each campus was designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. With all the amenities, activities and services, the pleasures and privileges of retirement at its very best are evident every day. Because of the vision of 1982, you can experience this lifestyle now.

  • All Persons Equally Deserve the Ability to Pursue Their Dreams and Contribute to Their Communities and Families with Liberty, Dignity, and Freedom.” January 12, 2015
    “All persons equally deserve the ability to pursue their dreams and contribute to their communities and families with liberty, dignity, and freedom.” January 12, 2015 Over one hundred Episcopal Church bishops have joined Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori in welcoming President Obama’s decision to offer relief from deportation to millions of undocumented community members and to reform certain harmful immigration enforcement policies. “I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation,” the letter states. In the statement, the Presiding Bishop and the bishops call upon the 114th Congress and the Obama Administration to work together to implement the executive orders quickly, fairly, and inclusively, and ask that Congress and the Administration continue to work together in pursuit of just and permanent solutions to our nation’s broken immigration system. The statement and the signatories follow: Together with families and communities across the United States, I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation. Too many families have lived for too long continually worried about parents being separated from children, wage-earners and caregivers from those who depend on them, and unable to participate fully in their communities and the nation’s economy. Permanent and comprehensive reform of our broken immigration system through congressional action is still urgently needed, but the President’s action is a constructive step toward a system that honors the dignity and intrinsic value of every human being.

    M. Troy Smalley Mechanical Engineer Phone: (385) 227-1850 Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: Background Troy Smalley has more than 20 years of engineering experience; including the design of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; plumbing systems; fire protection systems; and building commissioning. He has designed engineered systems for universities, high schools, houses of worship, hospitals, clinics, research laboratories, and condominiums. He has worked with mechanical systems ranging in size from residential furnaces and condensing units to steam boilers, chillers and cooling towers in central plants. As a Commissioning Authority, Troy implemented commissioning best practices and essential attributes as prescribed by the Building Commissioning Association (BCxA) and ASHRAE Guideline 0. He acted as an advocate for the building owner to ensure quality was incorporated into the project from its inception. During the pre-design phase he helped clients develop and document their building performance requirements, the standard by which the finished product would be judged. As a LEED® Accredited Professional Troy helped clients incorporate goals for energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact into the design. During the design phase he reviewed the engineering basis of design, drawings, submittals, and sequences of operation. He developed equipment Installation Checklists to aid the contractors in installing the approved equipment properly. Throughout the construction phase, he performed site inspections to ensure the equipment was installed per the checklists and document any issues that arose. Troy developed Functional Performance Tests for each major system; including air handlers, boilers, chillers, exhaust fans, building controls, lighting controls, and security equipment; and then supervised their execution. He ensured the contractors and designers resolved all documented issues before the building was turned over to the owner.

  • Open Letter from Episcopal Bishops
    “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by doing so, some have entertained angels unawares.” (HEBREWS 13:1) President Donald Trump and Members of Congress, As bishops of the Episcopal Church we implore you not to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. To do so would endanger the lives of thousands of young people and their families and run contrary to the faith and moral traditions of our country. It is unfair to threaten the well-being of young people who arrived in our country as children through no choice of their own. Ending DACA without a similar replacement program will force these young people to face the future in this country with little access to education and employment, and ultimately, could very well lead to sending them to countries where they did not grow up, have few support structures, may not even speak the language and may be vulnerable to violence and persecution. Any of these scenarios, we believe, is cruel. The alternative for us as a country is to move forward, to celebrate and benefit from the presence of these ‘Dreamers’ and to provide a pathway to citizenship that enables them to remain and strengthen our country. The Episcopal Church has long advocated for bipartisan comprehensive immigration reforms that prioritize family unity and humanitarian concerns. It is time for Congress to develop long-term solutions for immigrant families. In front of most of the Episcopal Churches across the country is a sign that says, ‘The Episcopal Church Welcomes You.’ We have this sign because we are followers of the way of Jesus of Nazareth, and our Christian tradition shares with many other faith bodies the absolute importance of welcoming the foreigner in our midst.
