I didn't spend half as much time in Chiang Mai as I would have liked. When I'm there again, I will be happy to worship with you.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-38754669274607921012013-10-16T22:20:35.926-04:002013-10-16T22:20:35.926-04:00I realise I am replying to an old blog post.
Ho...I realise I am replying to an old blog post. <br /><br />However, I'd just like to mention that there is now another independent Anglican/Episcopal church in Thailand: All Saints, Chiang Mai. We are not connected with the Diocese of Singapore, either, and we are an inclusive and welcoming congregation.<br /><br />And I also wear vestments - when it's not too hot!<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Rev.

I certainly would have gone to church one of the three Sundays I was there as I missed it.<br /><br />Thank God for your presence and your ministry.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1311663425888110642012-04-20T11:35:16.236-04:002012-04-20T11:35:16.236-04:00While it is true that St. George's Pattaya is ...While it is true that St. George's Pattaya is not part of the Diocese of Singapore our small congregation serves a very important purpose in Pattaya. The 3 clergy ( one Australian & two Americans ) are non stipendiary and since the congregation is very generous the collection goes to providing food for some elderly Thais and also helping to care for some children living with HIV/Aids.The clergy also visit the hospitals when required. Our information leaflet states that at St. George's, through our Services & fellowship we try to respond to the needs of all people who are coping with the effects of alienation, depression or just every day life. We are a totally integrated and accepting congregation.. for everyone.Our congregation statement is:<br />May the doors of this room be wide enough to receive all who hunger for love, all who are lonely for friendship. May it welcome all who have cares to unburden, thanks to express, hopes to nurture. May its threshold be no stumbling block to young or strained feet. May it be too high to admit complacency, selfishness and harshness . May this room be for all who enter the doorway to richness and a more meaningful life.<br /><br />es, we also wear vestments!<br />Blessings!<br />Fr. Theo Lewis.Fr.

I fear Rowan's big flaw is that he over-thinks things. I guess that's what I was really trying to say<br /><br />Glad you enjoy the posts. I make time every afternoon when Rob is taking his nap and we are having a bit of a break from each other to write. It's been very cool and I've loved the luxury of it.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-32832288974459078892012-03-19T06:43:45.120-04:002012-03-19T06:43:45.120-04:00That was my favorite part of +Jones' statement...That was my favorite part of +Jones' statement as well!<br />And I hope the same things for ++Rowan as he moves back into academia. <br />I would say that, for me, being Anglican is about the heart and soul and mind working together, not necessarily any part being more important than another.<br />It's cool reading about your experiences!SCGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08162762233972733978noreply@blogger.com
