“The centerpiece of the 227th Convention is Resolution R-10a, which commits the Diocese to create a $10,000,000 fund for reparations to benefit Black, Indigenous, and peoples of color communities.” – email from the Diocese of Virginia
The Archbishop of Canterbury has apologised for not speaking directly to the Ghanaian bishops before issuing his statement last month. Welby’s [new] statement leaves it unclear what position the Anglican leadership in Ghana will take as the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill progresses through the legislature.

We direct all clergy who desire to use such rites for same-sex couples, with the advice and input of the congregation’s Vestry, to contact our Assisting Bishop to work out on our behalf the details of a Letter of Agreement for supplemental episcopal pastoral support. – Standing Committee and Ecclesiastical Authority
North Platte’s Episcopal Church of Our Savior has donated $12,500 towards a fund to establish a Japanese American display at the Lincoln County Historical Museum. The funds come from the family of the Rev. Hiram Hisanori Kano.
