From Episcopal Life
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori paid a poignant visit to Port-au-Prince Feb. 8 to survey with Episcopal Diocese of Haiti Bishop Jean Zaché Duracin the devastation wrought by the Jan. 12 magnitude 7.0 earthquake. "I look at this as a baptism," writes Bishop Jean Zaché Duracin of Haiti in a reflection in Episcopal News Service Weekly bulletin inserts for Feb. 21, the first Sunday of Lent, which is also designated by General Convention as Episcopal Relief and Development Sunday. Bishop Duracin comments on the situation in Haiti and the need for faith, prayer and renewal in the midst of devastation caused by a magnitude-7 earthquake on Jan. 12 There may not be a single Episcopal church standing in Port-au-Prince today but that lack of walls and roofs does not mean that the church in the Haitian capital is dead. "As the largest diocese of the Episcopal Church until now, we are physically destroyed but the church is there because the church is the people," Episcopal Diocese of Haiti Bishop Jean Zaché Duracin told Episcopal News Service Feb. 4 |
