72 kids and 26 leaders from New York to Maine gathered for a weekend at Pilgrim Pines to “Meet the Real Jesus.”

How did Jesus break through to a guy who thought he was better than everyone else (The Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18)?  How did Jesus uplift a guy who others thought was worse than everyone else (the blind man in Jericho in Luke 18)?  How did Jesus save a woman who thought she was worse than everyone else (Woman at the Well in John 4)?  How did Jesus redeem a guy who everybody agreed that they hated (Zacchaeus in Luke 19)?  Sean began and ended the retreat.  Bishop Drew and I took the middle talks.  Volunteers leaned in.  We couldn’t have done it without them.

"For you I am a minister, but with you I am a Christian. The first is an office accepted; the second is a grace received." — St. Augustine

This spring has been a profound season of growth and celebration for the Anglican Diocese in New England. We have witnessed the Holy Spirit at work across state lines, calling forth new leaders to serve God’s people.
