As lead bishop of the Anglican Mission in America, it is my honor and opportunity to preside over our upcoming  Live the Mission conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, February 22 - February 24. Saint Andrews's Anglican Church will be hosting. All Saints Dallas has hosted this the last couple of years.

This is a wonderful time for clergy and lay leaders across the mission along with other friends and invitees to gather for two days of worship, prayer, connection, and vision casting. Joining us this year will be four of our overseas Anglican partner bishops from Congo and Tanzania. The main speaker at this conference, and our preacher this Sunday at All Saints Dallas, is the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Guite. Malcolm is a poet, priest, and Life Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge. He lives in Norfolk, England, and lectures widely in England and North America on Theology and Literature. Check out his YouTube series HERE.

I will give my opening address Thursday evening at 7 PM at Saint Andrews Church. Please keep us all in your prayers, as I continue to cast vision forward. My talk will be taken from our morning prayer service, suffrage B "In you, Lord, is our hope; and we shall never hope in vain." (Page 98 of the Book of Common Prayer.)

As a missionary society, we seek to continue to live on the edge pushing forward in kingdom works:

Planting churches focused on the three streams of Scripture, Sacrament, and Holy Spirit

Forming gospel partnerships with similarly kingdom-minded people

Opening our sails to the fresh winds of the Holy Spirit's daily visitation and power.

Leaning in on family- friendly, multi generational worship

Modeling a gospel centered life with passion and balance.

We will have much to report upon our return this Saturday and look forward to our worship together on Sunday. You will immensely enjoy Rev. Guite's word to us.

Come and See,

+Philip
