LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WHO WE ARE

Here’s what some of our readers are saying about the new
Virginia Episcopalian Magazine:

THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF VIRGINIA

We really enjoy the new format of the Virginia Episcopalian.
It’s colorful, inviting, eye catching, easy to read AND, as
usual, interesting to read.
Chris Umburger, St. Andrew’s, Burke
I have been a priest of the Diocese of Virginia for 55 years –
in and out now and then – but always called this home.
The new look in the Virginia Episcopalian is the best thing
yet. Congratulations.
The Rev. William Dols, Retired Clergy

FOR CHRIST. FOR THIS TIME. FOR ALL TIME.

The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia is a part of the world-wide Anglican Communion and
the Episcopal Church. We are a community of more than 80,000 baptized members and
425 clergy in 38 counties of central, northern and northwestern Virginia, serving the
world through 183 congregations, six diocesan schools, two diocesan centers and six
diocesan homes, and home to the largest Anglican seminary in the world. Our episcopal
seat is the Cathedral Shrine of the Transfiguration, Orkney Springs. Organized 1785.
How to Reach the Diocesan Staff:

I would like to congratulate you and others who contributed
to the new quarterly Virginia Episcopalian. The first issue
was so attractive and readable – I sat down and read it cover
to cover. All the articles were well-written and interesting.
It was especially encouraging to read about what young
people are doing in the Church. Thank you for all you do for
the Diocese.
Vickie Gottlob, St. Paul’s Memorial, Charlottesville
