I really got to get around to posting a picture.

I don't think i can make the retreat as I'm broke at the moment, but i do look forward to the 2 day coming down and for you to come here for our clergy day.
Also Kurt could you start a 'group page for the Diocese of Oregon on this AnglimergentNING. Do upload a picture of yor diocese crest. it is nice to have those logo/crests on group pages, and then invite any Oregon TEC emergents or AMia... to join. You as creater are the 'admin' then you can send email messages to your group... Cheers
