My life has forever been transformed by God’s grace and the ministries of St. Paul’ Episcopal Church in so many beautiful ways. It all began for me August 2012 – just a few short days after I arrived in Delray Beach on a one-way plane ticket from Pennsylvania to face my alcohol dependency.

On March 9th the Episcopal House of Bishops concluded its retreat meeting at Camp Allen in Navasota, TX and published two statements: one on gun violence and the other on sexual harassment and gender bias.
