Going to Bedford?

Posted 23 May 2009 - 9:33am by David Turney

I am very fortunate to be able to attend this historic event and am looking forward to being there with others from our regional family.  I will not be there in any official capacity.  Rather, I plan to observe, network, capture some video for AnglicanTV, and report back to you here.  I think it's just great they are inviting ordinary Joe's like me to attend, and I would encourage any and all of you to come and witness these first fruits of so much labor and sacrifice.  There is still time/space to register.  See info below, received from event organizers:

North Texas Anglicans look

North Texas Anglicans look forward to meeting their brothers and sisters from the West Coast. I'm excited that the festival worship will be held at Christ Church, Plano. Between there and St. Vincent's Cathedral we'll be blessed to participate in a healthy spectrum of Anglican worship. I pray you'll enjoy your visit if you are planning to come, and I hope I can meet some of you at this important event!

Thanks for extending the welcome, Jill.  We'll be looking closely at nametags in hopes of saying hi.  I haven't counted, but there should be 6-8 of us from San Diego, I believe.

Indeed, as a member of the ministry team at St. Vincent's Cathedral I can't wait to welcome the multitudes of faithful Anglicans from all over the continent to our fair community. If you have any questions about our local area you would like answered before you travel, please don't hesitate to write me. Best wishes and prayers for a safe journey.

You're blessed and burdened with so great an event happening at your parish.  Best wishes as you all prepare.  Thank you for the online hospitality.  We So-Cal types have much to learn from you southerners!
