Altar guild members, clergy, and friends from across the Diocese gathered for worship, a blessing of hands, and a luncheon in thanksgiving

This was the first time the House of Bishops has gathered in the Dominican Republic, a diocese of 65 congregations and 24 schools.

“The most important part of our time in the Dominican Republic was witnessing the life and ministry of the Church there."

"The Spirit doesn’t wait for the Church to be perfect. The Spirit shows up... and says, ‘Start here.’"

Church leaders met May 13–15 in Garden City, NY to discuss perspectives on contested issues and continue vital reconciling work.

Each day, we will hear voices from clergy from across the diocese offer spiritual insight, prayer, and hope as we journey through Holy Week.

We honor and uplift the ministry of Bishop Geralyn Wolf, the first woman dean of a Cathedral and the first woman Bishop of Rhode Island.

The Bishops of Long Island comment on the recent protests and renew a call for peace.

"Week after week in our Sunday liturgy we pass the peace of Christ which remains so elusive in Israel/Palestine and in our own hearts."
