Bishop Glen and Laurie Hartley traveled to Heber Springs, Arkansas October 20-21 for a  visit to St. Barnabas Anglican Church.  It was a wonderful weekend. 

Saturday evening began with dinner with the vestry at Café Klaser on the patio overlooking the river.  The meal was very good and the fellowship remarkable.

After dinner we watched a movie, “October Baby.”  This was followed by dessert and more fellowship.

Sunday services began with Morning Prayer which was followed by a lively discussion  hour.  Then the Communion service followed  and included two baptisms.

As always, it was a delight to visit St. Barnabas and all the great people there.

The 2012 annual convention of the Missionary Diocese of the South & Ozarks began September 20 with Evening Prayer at St. Matthew’s Church in Rogers, Arkansas.  A fine dinner at Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant followed with fellowship, visiting with friends, meeting new clergy and visitors.

Next day, September 21, the meeting began with Morning Prayer and Holy Communion in honor of the feast of St. Matthew.  Afterward, new clergy and visitors were introduced and Bishop Glen Hartley announced the appointment of Fr. Tom Bradshaw to the position of Canon to the Ordinary.

Canon Bradshaw then addressed the convention about two projects he has been working on.  One of these projects is an Introduction to the Anglican Church: A Summary for Inquirers.  This is a course for newcomers and confirmands providing a starting place on which to build.

Sections include a brief history of the Anglican Church, the Book of Common Prayer, Creeds, Articles of Religion, the Reformation, the Caroline Divines, the Oxford Movement, the American Revolution and the Episcopal Church in America, the Affirmation of St. Louis and the establishment of the Continuing Church and the Anglican Church in America today.

Canon Bradshaw’s second project is a diocesan in-house clergy training program consisting of two levels.  It begins with an advance preparation section, then the first level is a one-year program leading to the diaconate.  Level two is a two-year program in preparation for the priesthood.  He also included a study guide for Anglicans in his presentation.

Now that a clergy training program is in place it will be easy to merge it with the national program when it is completed.

After a delicious luncheon provided by St. Matthew’s Church members, the business session began.  Bishop Hartley gave a state of the diocese report including a new parish in Oklahoma and some interest from outside the UECNA.  Representatives from five of the seven churches in the diocese attended:  St. Matthew’s, Rogers, Arkansas; St. Barnabas, Heber Springs, Arkansas; St. Francis, Ava, Missouri; St. Joseph’s, Branson, Missouri; and St. Thomas, Moore, Oklahoma.  Visitors were Tom and Millie Hiter of Kentucky.

Next year, the convention will be held at St. Francis in Ava, Missouri on a date to be determined later.

The meeting was adjourned and closed with Evening Prayer from the family section of the Book of Common Prayer.
