STRATEGIC VISIONING
The COVID-19 pandemic. Racial unrest. A nation divided. With so many challenges in our world today, it may sound strange when our new bishop says it’s a good time to be the church!

“You and I must be companions alongside our sisters and brothers, bringing compassion and hope,” said the Rt. Rev. Deon Johnson, Eleventh Bishop of The Diocese of Missouri. “We know the despair of Good Friday and the triumph of Easter. We are the keepers of the sacred stories that bring liberation and life. It is in our spiritual DNA.”

With that optimism, The Diocese of Missouri is moving forward in 2021 with a strategic visioning process that will redefine our vision, our mission and our goals. And there will be many opportunities for everyone in the diocese to be involved.
ANTI-RACISM COVENANT
You are invited to read and sign.

A covenant is more than an agreement. A covenant is a relationship of commitment between God and God's people.
​
In response to the death of George Floyd and others in police custody, the Rt. Rev. Deon Johnson wrote an anti-racism covenant. The document includes our laments (the things we confess to doing wrong) and our covenant (the promises we make to do better).

Several other bishops in the Episcopal Church and ELCA are supporting our bishop in this action. We invite everyone in our diocese to read the covenant and sign on if you feel called to do so.

As Bishop Deon said, this is an opportunity to move beyond a "statement" and engage in meaningful action to end the sin of racism.

"Being a Christian is not essentially about joining a church or being a nice person, but about following in the footsteps of Jesus, taking his teachings seriously, letting his Spirit take the lead in our lives, and in so doing helping to change the world from our nightmare into God’s dream."      ~The Most Reverend Michael J. Curry, Presiding Bishop

:Archbishop of Canterbury launches Lambeth Conference prayer journey
From the Episcopal News Service

[Lambeth Conference] At a time where the world still faces the challenge of COVID-19 alongside ongoing issues like climate crisis, poverty, economic injustice, conflict and inequality, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has launched a Lambeth Conference prayer journey to share “prayers of hope for the world.”

The prayer journey invites Christians around the world to join in praying for world issues. It features a wide range of prayers that have been shared by Anglican bishops, clergy and laity. Often recorded via virtual technology during times of lockdown – these prayers have been sent from dioceses and nations from across the global Anglican Communion.
​
Prayers will focus on daily themes of hope, proclaiming good news, pandemic response, people, planet, peace, politics, justice and poverty. Read the full story here.
