We have been christened!

Welcome to the second edition of the E-Newletter, hereafter named The Circuit Rider. Bruce Coggin, long time priest of the diocese, offered us this name immediately upon seeing the first newsletter. It resonated with Elinor Normand and me, especially after Bruce shared the story of the Rev. W. W. Patrick. You can read the story of our very own circuit rider in this newsletter.

"The newsletter will be posted on the diocesan website, http://episcopaldiocesefortworth.org/ in a form suitable for downloading. Our hope is that parishes will download it and print it out for those members of their parishes that do not have email or Internet access.

Please let us hear from you what you would like to see in The Circuit Rider. We want this to be helpful to you in your ministry, whatever form that takes.
