New Feature: Weekly Devotional Coming Events DOK Spring Assembly The Assembly was opened with Holy Communion celebrated by the Right Reverend Jack L. Iker. After Holy Communion, the members of the Order met and were presented
with the nominees for the Diocesan Board. As there was only one person
nominated for each poistion and there were no nominations from the floor,
the following officers were elected by acclamation: Dorothy asked her rector, Fr. David Klein, to be the new Diocesan DOK
Chaplain. Bishop Iker installed the new board. Fr. Jay Atwood, former Diocesan DOK Chaplain asked us all to pray for this diocese and the National DOK. Fr. Klein closed the meeting with a prayer. Lunch followed, then a talk by Summer Twyman, who is a SAMS/SOMA missionary candidate, about child slavery in Honduras. The offering was designanted to help her go to Honduras in the fall.

ACNA
IS BORN !! On June 24, 2009, the day of the Nativity of John the Baptist, Archbishop Duncan was invested as the first Anglican Archbishop for the newly formed Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). In his sermon, Archbishop Duncan expounded on the song
of Zechariah, who was John the Baptist's father, in Luke 1:67-80: He stated that is exactly what we are called to do as God's children in this new Anglican province - to prepare the way for people to come to Christ because He is the Way to forgivenss and light. He challenged us to birth 1000 churches over the next five years, to be Jesus' hands and feet among the sick, the naked, the widow, the homeless and the imprisoned and to engage Islam and secularism so to expose them as false teachings. But in order to do that we must all return to taking Scripture to heart because you can not live it if you do not know it. He told us to enmbrace what we have always beleived in and not to waver in that, but to be open to the different ways we Anglicans world wide express those beliefs in worship. The Eucharist service reflected that. More than 300 priests, bishops and archbishops from all over the world were there in Christ Church, Plano which was packed to capacity- over 2500 souls in total. When we all sang the Doxology and then the contemporary praise hymn Shout to The Lord- the place trembled with the Holy Spirit. Powerful doesn't begin to wrap it's arms around the experience. Awed, humbled, over flowing with tears of joy- perhaps gets a bit closer. A tiny inkling of what Heaven will be with all those voices praising God together? Better yet. Our new logo is a globe showing North America with the shield of St George superimposed on it. To view pictures and read about all the happenings at the Inagural Assembly, go to www.theacna.org. and click on the gray box on the upper left. Please continue to pray the Novena regularly (found under the Prayers tab on this DOK site) for ACNA, our dicosese and parishes.

Weekly
Devotional "May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long." Psalm 72:15 Our nation is a divided one and has been for years. Red states, blue states. But whoever is in office, whoever sits in the Senate or the House or behind the benches of the Supreme Court need our prayers. Whoever governs the state where you live, or the town, or the school board needs your prayers. Have you prayed for them regularly? If we are to remain one nation under God we must be indivisible through prayer. The person in office may not have your beliefs, values or political support, but God is very clear that we are to pray for them and that all people in authority are there for a reason. We must humble ourselves to His wishes and pray for those in authority even though they seem ungodly. We are a blessed nation, one of the wealthiest in the world. Yet we are often barren in our beliefs, personal disciplines and lifestyles. America is the new mission field. America needs prayer. So do our leaders. Heavenly Father, our times, our nation, our states and our towns are in Your Hands and we lift up those in authority. You are a God of wonder, of promises and second chances. If these officials do not know you, we pray their heart may be turned so that they may come to know Your Son as their Savior to rule over their decisions. If they have strayed, we pray that Your voice will lead them back. If they bend a knee every morning to you, we pray that You will give them strength to follow You in all circumstances and be a beacon of justice and truth.. Until the day comes when Your Son returns and every knee shall bow, keep this land in Your sight and under your protective wings and teach us to pray daily for it and those who govern it. Amen. "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." Romans 13:1 "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn form their wicked ways,
then I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land."
