The Rt. Rev. Charles Jenkins (Bishop of Louisiana) and The Rt. Rev. John Chapman
(Bishop of Ottawa)
In October, Synod asked Youth Ministries Development Coordinator,
Andrew Stephens-Rennie, to develop a partnership agreement between
the youth ministries in the Diocese of Ottawa and the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana.
As his last official act prior to retiring as Bishop of Louisiana, the Rt. Rev. Charles
Jenkins visited Ottawa on December 16, 2009 in support of this developing partnership.
The Rt. Rev. Charles Jenkins (Bishop of Louisiana), Pat Connolly
(Director of the Well), Mary-Martha Hale (Director of Centre 454),
Andrew Stephens-Rennie (Youth Ministries Development Coordinator), Sue Garvey
(Director of Cornerstone) and the Rev. Rich Clark (Missioner for Youth and Young
Adults, Diocese of Louisiana).
While visiting Ottawa, Bishop Jenkins visited The Well, and met with the Pat Conolly,
Mary-Martha Hale and Sue Garvey, directors of our diocese's three Community Ministries.
Conversations throughout the afternoon focused on ways in which our dioceses can
become mutually supportive - as the Diocese of Louisiana develops its Episcopal
Community Services, and as we continue to minister through our Community Ministries.
In the evening, Bishop Jenkins met with participants from last year's Jeremiah Project team,
alongside young people participating in the 2010 trip. Bishop Jenkins shared stories
of living through the storm, and encouraged young people to bring hope and the
light of the gospel wherever they go. This visit marks an important moment in the ongoing
development of this youth-led partnership between our two dioceses.
