St. Paul’s letters accomplish three things: they reveal the character of God; invite the reader on a journey and paint a picture of a transformed life. He’s no great writer as writers go, but he writes what he knows. He knows he’s found something that surpasses the confidence he had in lineage and learning. The origin, nature and quality of his confidence has shifted. Before his confidence came by seeking to earn status with God. Now, his confidence is in seeking the knowledge of the status of God. Previously, he was his glory, now we might find him humming the hymn, “To God be the Glory.”

Philippians 3:4b-14

Parish spotlight: St. Luke's Episcopal Church - Atlanta, GA

"On this Feast of the Transfiguration, we celebrate the ways God’s light continues to reveal something new among us.

What a beautiful day to welcome two of our newest members into the life of St. Luke’s through baptism. We joyfully welcome Eliana Devimari and Caroline Grace into our community of faith, and give thanks for the promises made today and the journey of faith that lies ahead.

May the light of Christ continue to shine through their lives, and through all of us, as we grow together in love, faith, and community."

From yesterday’s Bishop’s Staff Meeting! It was our first time gathering as a full staff with Kurtireea and Tiffany, the newest members of our Finance and Administration team.

As part of our time together, we revisited the shared purpose that guides our work: “To the glory of God, the bishop and his staff partner in inspiring and strengthening Christian maturity in the Episcopal Church in Middle and North Georgia through innovation, sound judgment, and professionalism.”

We’re grateful for this team and the shared purpose that continues to shape our ministry together.

For decades, The Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Cartersville was known for its faith in action, from a commitment to social justice to the iconic red door welcoming everyone in. Tucked inside the back of the church, a small outreach ministry handed out non-perishable staples from a storage closet to a few dozen families each week.

Today, that mustard seed has grown into a vital lifeline for thousands. Now operating out of a converted elementary school kitchen and two rooms at the church, Red Door Food Pantry uses state-of-the-art digital tools to help distribute 335,000 pounds of food in 2025 alone, nourishing more than 10,400 households—nearly 30,000 neighbors across Bartow County and Northwest Georgia.

The dramatic expansion still relies on a steady, simple core mission: serve compassionately and love like Jesus.

Prior to the ordination, the new priests were asked what part of their diaconal journey was most significant. They were also asked about their current clergy work and outlook, what the ordination means to them, and what they will remember about this milestone.

Dr. Nicole Tingle Walters: “Deep Belonging Within This Diocesan Community”

Perhaps most importantly, I will remember the experience of returning to St. Paul’s the next morning and being embraced by the community with such love and joy. Standing at the altar as a newly ordained priest, I was reminded that ordination is never simply about one person. The Church is a body, and each of us has a role to play in God’s mission.

Site preparation has begun in Hall County for the new permanent home of The Archives of The Episcopal Church, establishing a major historical hub within the Diocese of Atlanta.

The archives will occupy a 3.5-acre property in Oakwood that was home to St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church before it closed in October 2023. Construction should finish by spring 2027, and the facility will house the oldest denominational archives in the United States.

First staged in the counterculture era of Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair, Godspell carries a meaningful connection to The Episcopal Church. Playwright and director John-Michael Tebelak, who conceived and wrote the original musical as his master’s thesis at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1971, was an Episcopalian.

Fisher noted:

He went to an Easter service that did not leave him feeling filled with the joy of the resurrection, so he wrote the musical.

Some Godspell songs came from the Episcopal hymnal.

Tebelak later served as the dramaturge at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York City, where he wrote and staged liturgical drama. The cathedral hosted Tebelak’s memorial service and named a theater for him.

Godspell also plays out the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta’s mission: “We challenge ourselves and the world to love like Jesus as we worship joyfully, serve compassionately, and grow spiritually.”
