St. James ECW

O Lord, God of life and giver of every good gift: grant us your peace. May our security come not from weapons, but from respect. May our strength come not from violence, but from love. May our riches come not from wealth and power, but from the patchwork beauty of all humankind. (Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles; alt.)

Beautiful ordination ceremony for Ranée Hollinger to the diaconate. Church of the Resurrection, you rocked it. Bishop Phyllis Spiegel, you were quite awesome, as well.

Sacred Ground is enriching lives by providing a medium of open and frank discussion about our own "whiteness" and views on racism. We currently have 2 Sacred Ground circles in session at St James and we hope to have more in the near future. All involved in the program recently met with Bishop Scott so he could get our feedback and we have all been invited to a Zoom meeting with Presiding Bishop Curry at the end of this month. If you are interested, please contact Terry Palmer or Laura Orcutt. To find out more about the program:
