On
April 15, Bishop Howe issued a pastoral letter to the Diocese of Central
Florida: "It
seems fitting to pause to reflect on the questions: Who are we… now? What
are the 'core values' of the Diocese of Central Florida? Where are we
going? What is God calling this Diocese to do and to be?"

Trinity Episcopal
Church makes
fresh start in Vero Beach
Departing clergy and some lay members
to leave by July 1
May 7, 2008
From The Rt. Rev. John W. Howe, Bishop of the Diocese of Central Florida:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am pleased to post here a copy of a letter sent today to the members of
Trinity Episcopal Church, Vero Beach.
This settlement was unanimously agreed to by the present vestry of Trinity, the
"Board" (vestry-in-waiting) of the continuing congregation, and the Executive
Committee of the Diocesan Board. This finalizes the last settlement of all nine
congregations whose clergy came to see me back in October, declaring their
desire to "disaffiliate" from The Episcopal Church.

Camp Wingmann
2008:
What are your kids doing this summer?
Tired of your kids hanging around the house complaining of being bored? Worried
about them scavenging the neighborhood looking for something to do, by
themselves? Don’t have the time to find a babysitter for that special night out
on the town or while you are away at work? Can’t wait for your kid’s cell phone
and iPod batteries to run out or for the computer and Nintendo to break
permanently so that they might actually get some fresh air and exercise? Going
crazy over that grocery bill because your kids have invited the entire
neighborhood over for dinner? Twice . . . and have the schematics all ready for
a third shindig!
There is absolutely no need to fret over details like this. We have it all
planned out for you and your kids, grandkids, and even the neighborhood kids.
The solution? Send them to Camp Wingmann for a week (or two) where they will
have the opportunity to participate in numerous activities, including: swimming,
kayaking, tubing on the lake, basketball, archery, kickball, beach volleyball,
softball, frisbee golf, ropes challenge course and arts and crafts. There is
chapel daily, where Morning Prayer and Compline take place surrounded by fun and
meaningful Christian songs, and times of bible study with age-appropriate
lessons created by Fr. Bill and your Episcopalian clergy and youth leaders.
Camp Wingmann is a fun place for kids, a safe place, a holy place, and most of
all, a kids’ place. Camp Wingmann is a haven where kids can be themselves, with
no worries. Camp Wingmann is a place where kids can come to have fun while
growing in their faith in Christ; where being a Christian is fun and exciting.
Camp Wingmann is a place for EVERY child.
There are many camps and activities to choose from, but what about one that will
build their faith in God? Please, let us take care of your kids for a week,
even two. Let us worry about planning meals, activities and keeping them
entertained for hours on end. Let us teach and share God’s love for each and
every one of them. Send your kids to Camp Wingmann this summer because it is
WAY better than just hanging out at the mall!
