I have been asking Jesus what He wants to do in and through the people in this network of congregations. I have been asking leaders in the Diocese about pressing needs and exciting opportunities. I have been asking everyone questions about history, ethos, values, hopes, expectations and where they see the Lord working. From all of those conversations, six initiatives have distilled in my mind and heart. As I have shared these initiatives, they seem to resonate with leaders throughout the Diocese. I will present them to Convention as a game plan for the next season in our life as a Diocese. I will also invite the whole Diocese to pray about them, to talk about them, to speak into them, to help shape their implementation and to discover which of them the Lord calls you into most especially. Here is a brief summary of the six initiatives. 1. Intercessory Prayer "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6). The Kingdom of God advances not primarily by human effort but by divine power. Jesus said that He would build His Church. The history of the Church shows that every advance has come as a result of women and men with “white hot faith” interceding (see Steve Addison, Movements that Change the World). Our most significant work, then, is prayer. Therefore, the first initiative is the development of a Diocesan Intercessory Prayer Network. The work of the Diocesan Intercessory Prayer Network will be: to catalyze intercessory prayer in all the parishes in the Diocese. to collect and communicate prayer needs. to train people in the work of intercessory prayer. to exalt Jesus by sharing answers to prayer and reporting on His work. 2. Clergy Care The second initiative is to multiply the amount of care that the clergy of the Diocese experience. I have asked the Rev. Jonathan Millard and the Rev. Shari Hobby to work with me to develop a Clergy Care Leadership Team to spearhead this effort. This Leadership Team will help me do the following: Provide direct care to clergy in need. Provide direct care to clergy spouses and families. Inspire self-care (spiritual, physical, emotional, social, mental). Develop mutual care systems (where clergy are supporting one another through relational networks and small groups). Train congregations in care of their pastors. In order to have healthy congregations we need healthy clergy. In order to have healthy clergy we need to develop

    N Scale . Alco PA-1/PB-1 N 1951, a diminutive man in Tokyo sat down to build a model of an PRECISION RAILROAD MODELS IAmerican railroad locomotive. Using plans of the actual locomotive he had received after writing the Santa Fe Railroad, the end result of his efforts was a remarkably accurate and highly detailed model of ALCO PA-l. More than 40 years later, that "diminutive man in Tokyo" is looked upon as a giant in the model railroading industry. He is Yuji Kato, founder of KATO Precision Railroad Models. From his own personal passion for making models, he has built his company into one of the most respected names in the business. In honor of Mr. Kato, KATO Precision Railroad Models will release the N scale ALCO PA-l and PB-l in May/June (expected) to hobby dealers around the world. These new models will be produced with the same high level of passion of authenticity and commitment to detail that Mr. Kato gave his first handcrafted version. And while bearing the precision craftsmanship of the past, these models will also look to the future with the capacity for easy installation of after-market DCC decoder by the modeler. These models will be produced in seven popular road names, plus an undecorated A+B two-unit set. Depending on the road, these models will be delivered from the factory as an individually packaged A-unit and a two-unit set (A-unit + A-unit or A-unit + B-unit). There will be three versions of the A-unit body shell, accurately replicating the numberboards and headlight arrangement of the actual prototypes.

  • Peace Notes Prince of Peace Anglican Church
    Peace Notes Prince of Peace Anglican Church May 2016 New Bishop Elected – The Rev. Jim Hobby Following a five month discernment journey after Archbishop Duncan's retirement announcement at Diocesan Convention in November, the Rev. James Hobby was elected by a majority of deputies at a Special Convention of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh to serve as the next bishop of Pittsburgh. The election is subject to confirmation by the College of Bishops meeting in June 20-23, 2016. The Rev. James Hobby is currently serving as the rector of Trinity Anglican Church in Thomasville, GA. "The Standing Committee would like to honor Archbishop Duncan, and we look forward to celebrating his ministry among us," said the Rev. Paul Cooper, Standing Committee President. "God provided the leadership that Pittsburgh needed in the person of Robert Duncan, and we expect an unprecedented outpouring of gratitude and thanksgiving in the months ahead." The journey to get this point involved a decentralized discernment and nominating process where the Diocesan Standing Committee opened the doors for communication, prayer and discernment among the districts. Diocesan districts met and produced nominees for election, held over the weekend (April 22-23, 2016) at St. Stephen's Church, Sewickley. A slate of eight Nominees who were willing to stand for election to be the Next Bishop of Pittsburgh were announced on March 7, 2016. Three Nominees asked to be withdrawn from consideration, leaving five Nominees who were set to appear on the ballot at the Special Convention. >>> "The Standing Committee is grateful for the prayerful manner and approach the diocese took to bring us to the election of our next bishop," said Cooper.
