An Episcopal Visitation
By LELAND JONES, The Vicar
he Rt. Rev. Sylvestre Romero, Bishop of
Belize, is scheduled to be our presider and preacher on Sunday, April 25. Bishop Romero
and his family were very welcoming to the Vicar during his sabbatical in 1997 and it is a
pleasure to be able to offer hospitality to him. It is planned that he will attend the
previous day’s seminar on "Purpose-Driven Churches" (which members of the
Bishop’s Committee are attending) as our guest and that we will have a special coffee
hour and possibly a potluck barbecue on Sunday evening in his honor.
In mid-March Saint Andrew’s sent 12 large boxes of clothing and Christmas gifts that came in too late for our S
AVVY distribution to Belize in partnership with the World Missions group of our Diocese (they paid the shipping costs). We also sent theological books from our library and children’s Bibles—all of which are in short supply in a country which has not one Barnes & Noble bookstore!
