New issue of Episcorific available

A new issue of Episcorific: a ‘zine for and by the young adults of the episcopal church, is available for downloading here. This issue focuses on the topic of “Going Green” and also reports on General Convention:

Ordinary Time is the longest part of the church year. It spans from the day of Pentecost (this year, May 31) until the first Sunday of Advent (November 29). During this time the liturgical color (the color used for vestments and altar cloths, etc.) is green. That’s a lot of green! What is green all about for us as Christians? What’s the relationship between growth and going green? How did that big meeting in July call us to grow as a body? How is God present in our ordinary times?
