Little updates from Sarah

Changes are taking place around here these days. As of April 30, I
have officially "retired" from the episcopacy of the legacy Church of
the Divine Heart/Anglican Free Diocese of Oregon City
(Extra-Provincial). I am taking a back seat in the liturgical project,
becoming more of a facilitator/clerk rather than a being active lead
person of the project. Recently the project has gone "open-source" in
which any member can contribute and create the liturgies together.
This is done at http://stanneslts.wikispaces.com/ .

St. Mary's Divine Heart Mission Society is a much smaller operation as
compared with the CDH. We are still planning on having at least one
gathering for eucharist and prayer every two week (twice in every
28-day period). I found a better location (at least for spring and
summer months) than the previously said Washington Park.

Duniway Park is located just a couple of blocks outside the Portland
State University campus (and thus is possible to walk from the
Fareless Square). It is perhaps better known as the site of YMCA, but
it is actually a city park (YMCA is located next to the park). There
is a picnic table at 2596 S.W. Terwilliger Blvd. This is near a
8-Jackson Park bus stop. This may be an ideal location for the time
being. Speaking of Duniway Park, it's lilac season and the park has a
lilac garden! Stop by there.
