The
Bishop's Notebook, 02 February 2001
“An
anchor, a way to set something aside, is what our senior chaplains
achieved at the College of Preachers, 17-19 January. That
"Declaration" is below and I hope you get a chance to review
it. It rained off and on as we met over the Confession of
Saint Peter, reviewing draft after draft and charting goals
for the next few years. With the Cathedral floodlights just
turning on, and the evening mist rising, the weather cleared
long enough for us to enter Memorial Chapel for the Holy Eucharist.
In our intercessions we asked God to help us discern the rich
meaning of the Episcopal presence in the military. ”

“This
"Declaration of Intention" was produced after three intense
days of comraderie and planning and I present it to you. I
believe that there are still some refinements to be added,
e.g., we may broaden the reference to the "Church of England."
Nevertheless, I hope you can appreciate the thought and prayer
of our senior leaders as they composed a statement with me
which can be used in communicating to the command structure
as well as ourselves.”
