Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams in the Exhibit HallJuly 8, 2009
Imagine a worshiping congregation of about 1000 people, all joining in joyous Gospel and African call-and-response music—that was today’s opening Eucharist. Only designated photographers are permitted to take pictures during worship; look for those on the Media Hub, http://www.episcopalchurch.org/gchub.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori was celebrant and preacher for the service. In her sermon, based on the reading from Ezekiel that speaks of God’s gift of a “new heart,” she said, “Hearts renewed stay that way, living flesh not hardening into stone, when they continue to share that new life…”
“The heart of this body is mission,” she said, “domestic and foreign mission, in partnership with anyone who shares that passion.”
Her sermon will also be on the Media Hub.

A special guest arrived today at the convention center—Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. The archbishop is meeting with various groups today and this evening will join with the Presiding Bishop for a forum on the global financial crisis.
One of our deputies, Char Vinik, had her picture taken with the archbishop—that’s on her blog, http://www.allsaintsfl.org/diary2009/deputy.htm.
