Fr. Mike attends National Conference of Episcopal Chaplains

Posted: Jul 27, 2008

What a blessing it was to attend the National Episcopal University/College Chaplain's Conference at the Desmond Tutu Center at General Theological Seminary in New York City. The conference was held the week of 23rd through the 26th of June, 2008. Episcopal Chaplains from all over the country met and discussed the many issues that are unique to College Chaplaincy. I met many of my colleagues from around the Province IV region and I am proud to say that the Chaplains of Province IV were the most represented region of the Episcopal Church. I wanted all the students of the EUC to know that the National Church is aware of the growth and strength of the program at Florida State University and many of my colleagues wanted to know how we have achieved such rapid growth. I told everyone who asked that the secret was to have a group of highly motivated and committed Christians such as those that attend the EUC and allow them to do the work of the Gospel as they saw fit. It is a privilege serving you as your chaplain and I wanted all to know how grateful I am for your dedication and commitment to the ministry here at the EUC. I am looking forward to next years conference in Chicago and to sharing with others how God has moved and shaped our lives together this coming academic year. May God continue to be our guide as we work and fellowship together in this unique part of God's kingdom we call the EUC and Ruge Hall!

Forever yours,

Fr. Mike Sowards +
