interact personally and spiritually with New Orleans natives as they share
their experiences. You will learn how they have battled the waters that
tested their faith and forged into new deltas of change and rebirth.  Most
of all, we as Christians will come together to better understand our call as
God’s followers in times of crisis, distress and injustice. For more

Local parishes accommodate young adults attending November 5 seating service

By Daphne Mack

[ENS] More than 30 young adults who arrived in Washington, D.C. to attend
the November 5 formal seating of 26th Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts
Schori in Washington National Cathedral, were housed over night by St.
Thomas Parish in Dupont Circle and St. Albans Episcopal Church.

The pilgrimage to Washington began as a conversation between Thom Chu,
program director for Ministries with Young People at the Episcopal Church
Center, and Dustin Cole, parish administrator at St. John's Episcopal Church
in Georgetown, in the Washington, D.C. area, when they attended at the Young
Adult Ministry Network Gathering in Denver, Colorado. As the November 4-5
weekend of services celebrating Jefferts Schori's investiture and seating at
Washington National Cathedral neared, preparations began and the appeal went
out.

"It has truly been a collaborative effort," said Cole, a parishioner at St.
Thomas'. "A friend who works at the Cathedral secured a number of tickets. I
then spoke with the vestry [at St. Thomas] and found space for people to
sleep. Plus we have a bus from one of the women who runs the senior program
to transport everyone to the Cathedral."
