Feast Day – April 16

Peter Williams Cassey 1831-16 April 1917 | Anna Besent Cassey 1835 c - 1875

Collect God of justice and mercy, we remember before you this day your servants Peter Williams Cassey and Anna Besent Cassey, who, in the face of slavery and discrimination, sought to give the blessings of the priceless gift of education and a spiritual haven for those pushed to the margins. May we strive in our own lives to be fearless in the face of injustice and work for blessings that will touch those whom the world does not count of value, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives forever and ever.  Amen.

This collect is offered in hopes of being included in the next revision of the book. Purchase the current revision from Cokesbury.

Good morning everyone. My name is Greg Troxell, I serve at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Carmel-By-The-Sea and have just been appointed as the communications coordinator for Province VIII of the Episcopal Church.

I welcome your suggestions and participation. I wish I was down in San Diego this week with #episcom. This month the priorities are to connect and engage more members and leadership throughout the province in various social networks, increase sharing of existing events, and begin redesigning the provincial website: www.provinceviii.org .

You can find me on many social networks as @gtroxell www.gtroxell.com | about.me/gtroxell
