Working to fulfill their charge to βTo guard, transmit, teach, and proclaim β¦ the apostolic faith as it is expressed in Scripture and tradition, and … to interpret that faith evangelically and propheticallyβ (BOD, 2016, ΒΆ 414.3), the bishops in the Western Jurisdiction will offer messages of faith each week of Lent, with the prayer that God will strengthen the Church for its mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
The first of this series, for Ash Wednesday, is written by Bishop Elaine JW Stanovsky of the Greater Northwest Area.
