What have we been up to this summer?
A gathering of alumni and friends of the House in Nashville.
By Rebecca Terhune, Alumni Associate
We have been busy the past few months visiting Nashotah House alumni and friends across the country — and we’ve loved every second of it.
Many parishes have opened their doors, allowing us to share about the mission and latest developments at the House.
To name just a few: we were hosted by St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston; the Rev. Charleston Wilson, ‘13, held a wonderful dinner at the Church of the Redeemer Sarasota rectory; and the Rev. Christian Wood, ‘16, facilitated a gathering at St. John’s Episcopal in Tampa.
Meanwhile, Dr. Anderson has been busy speaking and teaching. He presented a lecture at St. Luke’s Cathedral in Orlando and taught the new priest cohort and diocesan staff in the Diocese of Central Florida. Dr. Anderson also preached multiple services and taught rectors’ forums at Redeemer Sarasota and Trinity Vero Beach.
Several of us gathered in Nashville in June for the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion (EFAC-USA), a gathering of evangelicals in the Episcopal and Anglican churches for networking, prayer, Bible study, worship, and mutual encouragement in Gospel ministry. Many conference attendees stopped by our table to ask about continuing education, formation, and life at the House. We were affirmed that interest in our offerings here on campus continues to grow. Afterward, we joined area alumni and friends for lunch and to hear about their ministries.
Our biggest encouragement continues to be the prayers offered for the House, the way our alumni continue to get the word out about the formation we offer here, and growing enthusiasm among parishes to become sustaining supporters of our work.
