Welcome to the Episcopal Diocese of Utah!

"Whoever you are, wherever you come from,
you are welcome among us."

--The Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish, Tenth Bishop of Utah

A Statement from The Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish, Episcopal Bishop of Utah

As more reports of death and destruction reach us from Myanmar, the people of the Diocese of Utah pray for all in that devastated country. I recently led a humanitarian mission of pilgrims from our diocese to Myanmar and moved toward establishing a partnership with the Anglican community in the former country of Burma.

I am saddened and shocked by the reports of widespread damage. The peopleof Myanmar have the assurance of our prayers in this natural disaster.

Earlier this month I asked the people of this diocese to join me in supporting a project to raise funds for a truck for the people of the Diocese of Myitkyina to use in its outreach work. I asked that the plate offerings on the Feast of Pentecost, May 10th, be given to this project.

Counting on the generosity of the people of this diocese, I am directing that any monies in the offering over $5,000.00 be sent to disaster relief in Myanmar through Episcopal Relief and Development.

Of course, I am sure each parish will pray intently during Pentecost services and in weeks to come for the people of Myanmar. Pray for the thousands who have died, those who are grieving, those who are suffering want, and especially for the government, that humanitarian aid may be welcomed.

Affirmations Spring 2008: Exciting opportunities for conferences and adult education in the diocese--including the Presiding Bishop's visit!
