Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church, Hopkinton, New Hampshire » Julie Miller http://standrewshopkinton.org A place to Belong. A place to Learn. A place to Serve. A place to find God.

I can not think of a more fitting individual than the Right Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Bishop of New Hampshire. +Gene has been my bishop for almost 10 years now. I have served on the Standing Committee for many of those years and this project naturally flows out of my own unique experience as having been raised and trained in the Roman Church and yet served the majority of my priesthood in The Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. The timing is also poignant because tomorrow the diocese gathers to elect the 10th Bishop of New Hampshire! What does God have in store for us next!

This grant will support a three-month sabbatical for the Reverend Kevin Nichols, as well as a parish-wide Outreach Mission Project.

The Parish Renewal Project grant provides funds for St. Andrew’s to discern and design a long term, parish-wide outreach mission. The hope is this effort will lead to a permanent outreach mission project for the parish. Additionally, Kevin will embark on a formal study and research project entitled “Authority, Leadership, and Accountability – Lessons from Rome, Canterbury, and New Hampshire”. Interviews, travel in the United States, England and Italy, and a period of reflection and rest will form the core of his sabbatical time from May 23, 2012 to September 4, 2012.

Please see our November 2011 for more details.
