Irenic Thoughts

Irenic. The word means peaceful. This web log (or blog) exists to create an ongoing, and hopefully peaceful, series of comments on the life of King of Peace Episcopal Church. This is not a closed community. You are highly encouraged to comment on any post or to send your own posts.

An Important Step


At the close of our worship service today, we held a parish meeting at which the congregation voted by acclamation to petition the upcoming 186th Convention of the Diocese of Georgia to move King of Peace from mission to parish status. It's a step toward autonomy sometimes not taken for 50 to 100 years, though more commonly taken sooner by more recent church plants. We also collected and burned pledges unopened in keeping with our ongoing pattern of committing of finances to God.
