Good evening. My week is short again this week. So I have attached the links to some news from general Synod and our Diocese.
I will have a full edition of the Digest during the week of Nov 1 as my wife and I are visiting with family this next week or before the snow flies.

From The Society St. John the Evangelist:
Inclusion
We want God to love us, but not them; to be on our side, but not theirs; to come to our aid, but forget about those others. But that’s not the way God works, and it’s certainly not the way Jesus works. Just look at who Jesus spent his time with: sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes. He went out of his way into the highways and byways to compel all to enter the kingdom, for he was sent to call not the righteous but sinners.
PerceptionWhen we label others, we stop seeing them as they are. We see them only as we are determined to see them, as we have decided that they must be. It’s important, then, to ask ourselves the same question Jesus asked Simon: “Do you see this woman?” Who is it that I have difficulty seeing? Is there a person – or group of people – whom I refuse to see? Can I set aside my labels and take a fresh look?
