Celebrating New Ministries

On Sunday, November 8, four members of our diocesan family said yes to new ministries. The Rev. Stacey Buffie was ordained to the priesthood, David Jones and Margaret Unsworth were installed as Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, and the Ven. Kevin Kraglund was collated as Archdeacon for Rural Ministry.

In his sermon, Bishop Stephen reflected on how God sees us, what it means to become a Jesus-shaped community, and what we are doing when we say yes to ministry: “It is less about us and what we are doing, and more about what Jesus is doing, and how we join in his project. … When Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is at hand, he means that the grace and mercy of God is breaking into this world to make it new.”
