Bishop Ohl Appointed to Task Force
on Disciplinary Policy and Procedure
Bishop Ohl will serve on the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure Task Force of the Committee on Sexual Exploitation called for in General Convention Resolution A028. The Rev. Virginia Herring, Convenor, has stated that the work of the task force
"Is vital to the future of our mission and
ministry. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of behavior, none
other than that set by Jesus Christ himself. As members of the baptized
community we must help one another live toward that standard. How we help is
just as important as how we do. The context of our work must be God’s call to
justice and reconciliation as it is proclaimed in the Eucharist; a call to
caring and intimacy that reaches toward our created image and God’s dream of a
kingdom of light and love. " The charge to the task force stated in
Resolution A028 is to (1) assess the present models of church discipline, as
reflected both in the policies and procedures addressing allegations of clergy
misconduct and in Title IV of the national canons of the Episcopal Church; (2)
study and explore other models for addressing misconduct, such as the
disciplinary models used by physicians, professors, lawyers and other
professionals, and the policies and procedures of other Christian communions;
(3) ...deliver a report of its findings...

St. Stephen’s, Lubbock, Apoyo
Ministry
Receives $25,000 UTO Grant
Apoyo, an outreach ministry of St. Stephen’s Church which assists individuals and families experiencing catastrophic illness, received a $25,000 grant from the United Thank Offering. An estimated 95% of Apoyo’s clients are Hispanic. Many clients are ill equipped to deal with the complexities of our healthcare system, financially, linguistically, emotionally, and culturally. The funds will be used to provide food vouchers, clothing, transportation, psychological counseling, temporary housing, emergency childcare, and other general assistance needs. Apoyo has helped an asbestosis victim needing a lung transplant, a baby needing a liver transplant, and a young girl suffering with plastic anemia needing bone marrow donors. Apoyo provides assistance and information concerning other needs such as medical, legal, financial, insurance, language translation, pastoral care, burial and grief counseling through volunteer Leadership Teams with Project Coordinators serving as primary contact to the patient and family. The UTO grant will also be used to produce and air a series of preventative health care television programs in Spanish. The productions are to be a compliment to the ministry of Apoyo and will reinforce the presence of the love of Christ experienced through the Episcopal Church.
Congratulations to the Apoyo volunteers, the Rev. Clifton Mann, the Rev. Jo
Mann, and the communicants of St. Stephen’s Church. Contact clifton.mann@worldnett.att.net

Canon Veal Retires
Best wishes to the Rev. Canon David L. Veal and his wife Sue who have begun retirement with the annual trip to their timeshare in Florida after a joyous Festal Eucharist at St. Paul’s in Lubbock on Saturday, June 9, which also marked Canon Veal’s 30th ordination anniversary. Bishop Hulsey preached the sermon which included a long list of Canon Veal’s achievements and included many Canon Veal stories. The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal on June 9 printed an interesting and enjoyable interview with Canon Veal written by Beth Pratt, Religion Editor.
150 souls joined in the celebration and lunch which followed at the County Line Pavilion. On behalf of the diocese, Bishop Ohl presented Canon Veal with a chalice and paten commemorating the 2000 General Convention in Denver and a purse. Sue Veal received a James Avery "children of the world" pin in thanksgiving for her part in creating Happy Camp which she and Canon Veal visited earlier in the week at the conference center.
Bishop and Mrs. Hulsey, Bishop and Mrs. Gerald McAllister, the Rev. Canon Charles Woltz , Dr. Bob Martin, and Mary Veal were among out of town guests who attended a dinner honoring David and Sue at the Frenchman Inn hosted by Bishop and Mrs. Ohl.
David will continue as Ecumenical Officer for the Diocese. David and Sue have plans to complete the remodeling on their home which includes a library for David and his vast collection of books, and to continue to enjoy their grandchildren and their travels. This editor is grateful to many people who helped to make the celebration a joyous occasion: Marihelen Snow for the music, Claire Cowden and Edna Chambers for arrangements, Rodney Goebel for his wonderful photo story of the day, to the past and present trustees of the diocese for financial support of the event, to all who attended from far and wide, those who sent letters and cards, and to all who generously contributed to David’s purse. Thank you.

30 to attend Happy Camp
Archdeacon Dana Wilson joyfully reports that thirty youngsters will attend this summer’s Happy Camp June 10-16 thanks to the generosity of many Northwest Texans. The children who would not otherwise be financially able to have a camp experience were selected by nomination from their teachers and others in child related services from across the diocese. Donations this past year funded the thirty camper slots. Archdeacon Wilson has heard from many grateful nominators from last year about the positive impact the camp has had on the children who attended. Two Happy Campers took their first hot showers at last year’s camp! Contributions may be sent to 1802 Broadway, Lubbock, TX 79401.
Leadership Academy for New Directions
Eleven persons from the Diocese will continue
their work at the LAND Conference to be held in San Angelo June 14-17: the Rev.
Bernardo Martinez & Francisco Molina of San Miguel Arcangel, Odessa; the
Rev. Leslie Gregory; the Rev. Michael Ehmer, Vicar of the Llano Estacado
Missions; Mary Ann Rowe, Vernon Rowe, and Darla Jimenez of the Sandhills
Episcopal Ministries; the Rev. Bill Nix, the Rev. Larry Spannagel, and Norman
Allen of the Rolling Plains (Panhandle) Ministry Cluster; and Claire Cowden,
Diocesan Ministries Coordinator. Area clergy serving as mentors are Mike Jasper,
Monte Jones, and Jim Liggett. Jerry Sneary serves on the LAND staff.
Each participant will be working independently or as part of a team with a mentor to implement a project in their local area. These projects will reflect the basic LAND principles that all baptized persons are gifted and called to ministry and that each faith community is responsible for its own life, ministry, and mission. LAND conferences seek to encourage each congregation or regional ministry to recognize its own potential for self-sufficiency in ministry and mission. LAND invites congregations to move from dependence to independence to inter-dependence. Contact Claire Cowden at ministry@nwt.org

David Morrow of Holy Trinity, Midland, donated the land and a building which had previously been a nursery school. Members of Santa Maria Virgen have spent many hours painting, refinishing floors, and moving in pews and furnishings for their new church.

Texas Tech Canterbury Students
Feed the Hungry in New York
This May, as in previous years, two students from the Canterbury Association Student Center at Texas Tech ministered in New York at soup kitchens and homeless shelters under the sponsorship of the national Office of Young Adult and Higher Education Ministries . The Vocations in Service program is overseen by the Rev. Mary Hileman, chaplain at Oklahoma State. Haley Hilliard of Heavenly Rest, Abilene, and Rachel Myers of Corpus Christi, both freshmen at Tech, stayed at a youth hostel, rising early in the morning to travel to a different soup kitchen each day to feed the hungry. Their meals consisted of the food they prepared and served in the soup kitchens. In the afternoons the group gathered for theological reflections based upon what they had seen and experienced that day. "Its pretty powerful stuff," observed sponsor Mother Mary. "No one returns without having been made aware of our deep interconnectedness in a very profound manner." Contact the Rev. David Krause, 806.765.0037 Canterbury@nwt.org
