At the 2024 Convention in Bemidji, Archdeacon Sally Gaze and Diane Grano from the Diocese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich in Suffolk, England shared about their work with Anglican churches in small towns and other rural areas outside London facing many of the same challenges as rural Minnesota faith communities. They shared a message of hope and depth as they told stories of all the many ways they’re learning and watching the Holy Spirit show up.
Over the course of the morning, Sally and Di helped participants think about how to engage their context more fully, and to discern how they might share the Gospel of Jesus with neighbors in new, simple, and organic ways.
