Political disagreement is real. So are the relationships that hold our communities together.
Our faith does not require us to pretend our differences don’t matter. It does call us to remember the dignity of the person across from us. We can listen with curiosity. We can ask questions before making assumptions. We can disagree without contempt.
The Episcopal Church’s election-engagement resources emphasize respectful political dialogue and building relationships across difference as part of our common life.
In a divided time, choosing to remain good neighbors can itself be an act of hope.

On the third anniversary of the mass shooting in Lewiston on Oct. 25, 2023, we remember and mourn those who died, and pray for all whose lives were forever changed by that terrible day. In a pastoral note to the diocese on Oct. 27, 2023, Bishop Brown offered the following prayer:
"God of Justice, help us, your church, find our voice. Turn us from the worship of power. Give us courage to confront our false gods and to protest the needless deaths caused by gun violence, lack of access to adequate mental healthcare, and the disproportionate impact of violence on marginalized communities. Help us rise above our dread that nothing can be done and grant us the conviction to advocate for change. For your dream of a world where all people are safe live together without fear, Loving God, make us instruments of your peace. Amen. "

Today we celebrated the life of Jo Garber - her daughter, Elizabeth and son, Hubbard, both shared meaningful memories, other family members read lessons and other readings, and Kristen Burkholder sang “Morning has Broken” which brought tears to everyone’s eyes.

Did you know there’s a story behind the Episcopal shield? 💙♥️🤍✨

You may have seen it for years without giving those nine little crosses a second thought! Each represents one of our nine founding dioceses, and together they form a cross that honors our Scottish connection.

A little history hiding in plain sight.

Had you noticed those details before, or did you learn something new today? We’d love to hear!
