Christ Episcopal Church in Kent will offer a Blessing of the Animals on Oct. 7 as part of its 10 a.m. service of Holy Communion. Among some of the pets in last year’s attendance were several dogs, cats, a snake, and guinea pigs.

The Episcopal Church is gravely disappointed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s announcement yesterday that the administration has set the refugee admissions ceiling for next year at 30,000.

On September 20 at 2:30 p.m., all are invited to attend, or watch online via live stream a discussion panel featuring both The Most Revd. and Rt. Hon. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury and The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
