Thanks, Joseph!  And a note to all of you to remember that the special screening of the film "Traces of the Trade," about one family's history in the slave trade, is this Friday night in Atlanta, at the Cathedral, as part of Annual Council.  All are welcome.  $15.00 covers dinner, wine, movie and the guided conversation afterwards by Dain Perry (in the film) and his wife, Constance.  Details on diocesan website, www.episcopalatlanta.org.  You can reserve a place online and then pay online or at the door.  Earlier notice said deadline was last Friday, but we have more flexibility than that, so are leaving open till at least Thurs.  Think about inviting a friend and coming!

Peace,
Debbie Shew
