St. Elizabeth's Anglican Mission was officially and unanimously accepted as a Parish (with all the rights and priviledges thereof) of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh this morning. The picture above is from the diocesan facebook page. We were invited to give a mission minute sharing our vision for church with the Convention and in the photo above, Tony Ahart shared a bit about how we do the mobile sacristy (a.k.a. church-in-a-box). Several people approached us afterward to ask how they could replicate the StEAM vision, so expect more StEAM-like congregations to pop up around the country!
We're no longer a church plant, folks... StEAM is the real deal!
I guess this means that Fr. Paul could become Bishop of the Church-in-a-Box Diocese. The coat of arms could have a plastic wheel surround.
ReplyDeleteIs that "our" cross on the table beside Tony?
Yes, that is our cross on the table.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hereby vote you as the coat-of-arms designer.
And bread baker. :)
Only for the latter, I'll cover you this week because I have the bread stamp.
You may be doing your son a great dis-service if you don't teach him how to make bread and design coats-of arms.
ReplyDeleteYou have a bread stamp? Is it like a sacramental seal?
