Diocese featured in ENS series

The Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth is being featured in a series of stories, photos,  and videos by Mary Frances Schjonberg of the Episcopal News Service.

The series begins, “For Episcopalians who think of “church” as a place to go rather than a thing to be, the continuing Diocese of Fort Worth has some stories to share.

“They are stories of more than reorganizing – or even resuscitating – a diocesan and congregational structure after a majority of former clergy and lay leaders voted in November 2008 to leave the Episcopal Church. They are stories of resurrection – of Episcopalians reinventing church and, in the process, themselves.”

The first story and a video featuring Bishop Scott Mayer was posted today. Schjonberg was in the diocese in early November. She visited congregations in Wise County, Stephenville, Hurst, and Arlington, interviewing several people in each location.
