Our diocese aired locally a 30-second TV ad April 10-
16 targeted to Gen Xers. Produced for national
broadcast by the Episcopal Church, the ad,
titled “Complicated Times,” features York Harbor,
Maine, priest Paige Blair, formerly of this diocese,
inviting viewers to join in a spiritual journey toward
understanding, reconciliation and forgiveness. The
ad ran locally on Channel 4 (CBS4) and on Lifetime,
the Family Channel, TNT and Nick at Night on cable.
If you missed it on TV, you can view it online at:

The Episcopal Church began broadcasting the ad
nationally through Time Warner Cable on April 30.

The diocesan Hurricane Katrina Relief effort
continues. In March Bishop Bud Cederholm traveled
with a group of volunteers to Biloxi, Miss., where
they extended helping hands and encouragement. In
April diocesan youth missioner Robert Bacon led a
youth team to Biloxi comprising 40 people from 18
parishes. They did substantial clean-up and repair
work on six homes and enjoyed fellowship with the
youth group of the Church of the Redeemer in Mobile,
Ala., who traveled over to serve the volunteers
dinner. The diocesan Katrina Relief Task Force has
compiled a list of ways to contribute. How might you
and your congregation be called to join in this
mission?
