From the January "Good News":Fr. Eric Turner

With the end of the holiday season, packing up of the Christmas lights, and the return to the “normal” routine of life, January often seems like a lost month.  I want to draw your attention to two special services we will have this month, that I think are a nice serendipity for an otherwise quite month.

On Friday, January 6, at 7:30 p.m., we will celebrate the Epiphany, along with several other area Episcopal Churches.  Epiphany celebrates the three wise men (literally, magi – astrologers, not kings) who came to visit the baby Jesus, at first glance not a central story in the Gospel, even though it is the subject of a beloved carol (“We Three Kings”).

The Rev. Gregory O. Brewer, rector of Calvary-St. George’s Church in New York City, was elected on Nov. 19 as the fourth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida, pending the required consents from a majority of bishops with jurisdiction and standing committees of the Episcopal Church.

Fr. Brewer was elected on the 4th ballot out of a field of seven nominees. He received 141 votes of 241 cast in the lay order and 110 of 192 cast in the clergy order. An election on that ballot required 125 in the lay order and 95 in the clergy order.

The election was held during the diocese's special convention at Trinity Preparatory School. Winter Park. Pending a successful consent process, Fr. Brewer will succeed the Rt. Rev. John W. Howe, who is retiring.
