St. Philip's Church, Harlem, marks 200th anniversary

>By Lynette Wilson

[Episcopal News Service] On Christmas Eve 1947 Veronica Henry walked  into
St. Philip's Episcopal Church on West 134th Street in Harlem for the  first
time for midnight mass.

Originally from the West Indies and new to New York, Henry was looking  for a
church home when a friend brought her to St. Philip's, she said.  Sixty-one
years later, Henry, a regular longtime member, was among more than 300
gathered October 4 to celebrate the Feast of St. Philip, deacon and
evangelist, St. Philip's Church's Bicentennial Homecoming Sunday, and
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's visitation.

ministry

[Episcopal News Service] The Episcopal Church's Executive Council opened  its
first meeting of the 2010-2012 triennium here by considering how it will
live out its role and responsibility.

The Executive Council carries out the programs and policies adopted by  the
General Convention, according to Canon I.4 (1)(a). The council is  composed
of 38 members, 20 of whom (four bishops, four priests or deacons and 12  lay
people) are elected by General Convention and 18 (one clergy and one  lay) by
provincial synods for six-year terms, plus the Presiding Bishop and the
President of the House of Deputies. Twenty-one of the 38 members are new  to
the council with this meeting, having just been elected by General
Convention and the provinces.

The October 5-8 meeting at the Holiday Inn at the University of Memphis
Fogelman Conference Center is taking place in the seat of the Episcopal
Diocese of West Tennessee. Council will hear about the mission and  ministry
of the diocese and of Province IV on the evening of October 6.
