2010 Synod Convention
Rooted in Christ; Clothed with Joy
The Synod's 13th Biennial Convention does not end in an omen of "bad luck" as the number 13 might signify . . . But rather we end on a note of hope and initative. That is on God's ongoing promise that His Grace goes with us and the Synod's resolve to implement the promises we have made to help our Church move forward!
Bishop Ronald B. Mayan Re-elected for Second Term
New Assistant to the Bishop
Dear Friends -
In anticipation of Synod Convention, and preparing for the possible contingency of my re-election as bishop, in February and March I invited four strong clergy candidates to consider the possibility of serving as assistant to the bishop. After careful discernment processes, as well as an interview process, I selected one of the four to consider this position. The candidate responded strongly in the affirmative. The Synod Council, meeting Sunday June 6th, voted unanimously to extend a call to special service - assistant to the bishop, to the Rev. Dr. Larry Kochendorfer (Ascension - Edmonton). This call will be accepted by Larry in short order. Larry was introduced as the assistant to the bishop at the closing Eucharist of the Synod Convention and was greeted with applause and a standing ovation. Larry will assume his duties on 1 August, 2010.
In the meantime, please keep Larry, Cathy and their family - together with the congregation of Ascension - in your prayers as they move through this transition. So also, the Synod staff as we prepare to receive our new partner in ministry. Soli Deo Gloria!
Blessings!
+Ron

What if things were done differently in our home congregations, our Synod, and across Canada? God works through the "what ifs," come and offer yours! Check out abtrenewal.wordpress.com.
