Good News: Roger Whitfield Receives Lettie Pate Award

February 03, 2011, People of St. Paul's (42), Church (77)

Posted by Kimberly Allen

This week, we have a special celebration as part of our ongoing effort to share good news. Roger Whitfield, part of our Global Missions Team, was named one of two recipients of the prestigious Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Award by Virginia Theological Seminary. He was recognized for his work with the Water Project in Mwitikira.

From the release announcing the winners:

This award celebrates the vitally important ministry of the laity in the church and beyond. The award is given each year by the Seminary to honor an Episcopal layperson who, over a significant period of time, has given leadership and unique witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ within his or her congregation, community, Diocese and in the world.

Congratulations, Roger!

You can keep up with the activities of St. Paul's pilgrims in Mwitikira on the "Live from Around the World" blog, with Roger's wife Sandra also posting about ongoing efforts to build relationships in Central Tanganyika.

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
