On Vestry retreat

Walker Hall where we are meeting

ROSLYN -- I am at our retreat center near Richmond with the St. Paul's Vestry. We will be here until Sunday, forming ourselves as a community, praying, brainstorming, and laughing. Candidly, some of us stayed up too late last night doing the latter. On Sunday we will elect wardens and officers for the year.

We are blessed to be led on our retreat by the Rev. Canon Susan Goff, the Canon to the Ordinary for the Diocese of Virginia. As it turned out, quite coincidentally, she joined us on the day it was announced that she is among the candidates for Bishop Suffragan (see below).

I will keep you posted on our retreat, and please keep our Vestry and Canon Goff in your prayers.
