First Quarter Assembly Meeting

The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew Dallas Assembly will hold its first 2018 quarterly meeting on March third at Christ Church  Dallas. The meeting will commence at 8:00 a.m. with Eucharist followed by breakfast and our guest speaker Deacon Andrea Conklin.

Deacon Andrea served as Resident in Clinical Pastoral Care at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas Medical Center in Houston from 2005 to 2007.  She studied at the Iona School for Ministry at Camp Allen in the Diocese of Texas beginning in 2007 until her ordination to the Diaconate in 2010.  She served at St Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Houston until moving to Dallas in 2012 where she began her ministry at Christ Church.

A new program called the DFW Faith Health Collaborative had a foundational meeting, last Monday at Christ Church with about 40 participants from several parishes as well as representatives from Parkland, Children’s, Methodist, and Baylor medical centers.  The plan is to have hospitals contact faith community representatives near the homes of discharged patients to help them assess their needs, alleviate loneliness, and promote wellness.  These experiences will also promote wellness within participating congregations by encouraging evaluations and preventative education.

Deacon Andrea will discuss how the Brotherhood might participate in this worthy ministry.  Any relationship is an opportunity to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
