March 3rd Forum a Success!

I am pleased to announce that the March 3rd forum with former board member Carol Anne Brown was a successful exchange of ideas and information.  Following the CDSP Thursday evening community night Eucharist Hannah Cornthwaite and Carol Anne Brown facilitated a discussion revolving around bringing Episcopal Relief & Development back into the parish after leaving seminary.  The open discussion touched on aspects of constituent buy in, how Episcopal Relief & Development fits in with other NGO projects that parishes work with and much more.  Ideas and projects posited by Dean Mark Richardson and Senior Erin Kirby made for thought provoking ways to involve parish life more fully with the goal of Episcopal Relief & Development.

The short video below is only a snipped of the nearly hour of conversation and idea exchange.

I would like to extend thanks to all those who helped make this evening possible.  As well as a special thanks to Kristin Krantz of All Souls Parish, who preached at our community night eucharist, and Carol Anne Brown as well as Hannah Cornthwaite for putting together such a great discussion.
