Executive Council hears reports on major-gifts effort, archives
relocation, Episcopal Relief and Development

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service -- Portland, Maine] The Episcopal Church's
Executive Council began its last meeting of the 2007-2009 triennium
here by hearing reports about efforts to relocate the church's
archives, cultivate major donors, and respond to extreme poverty
around the world.

The meeting at the Wyndham Portland Airport Hotel is taking place in
the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Maine. Council will hear about
the mission and ministry of the diocese and of Province I on the
evening of April 22.

Council began its meeting April 20 with an organizational plenary
session, followed by private conversation. During the plenary session,
Council members heard updates from the church's Mission Funding
Initiative, the committee investigating a long-term strategy for the
Archives of the Episcopal Church and the work of Episcopal Relief and
Development.

"Feasting on the Word: Year B, Vol. 2 - Through the Seventh Sunday of
Easter" from Westminster John Knox Press, by David L. Bartlett and
Barbara Brown Taylor, 557 pages, hardcover, c. 2009, $39.95

[Westminster John Knox Press] This new lectionary commentary series
offers the most extensive resource for preaching on the market today.
For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays--one
each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical
challenges of the text. They might focus on the Gospel text, for
instance, by reading all four essays provided for that text, or they
might explore connections between the Hebrew Bible, Psalm, Gospel, and
Epistle texts by reading the theological essays for each one.

Each lectionary year will consist of four volumes, one for the Advent
and Christmas season, one for Lent and Easter, and one for each half
of Ordinary Time. While the 12 volumes of the series will follow the
pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume will contain an
index of biblical passages so that non-lectionary preachers may make
use of its contents.
