SUMMARY:Spring Clergy Retreat 2026
DESCRIPTION:Rest and collegiality will be at the center of the year’s retreat\, The Journey Joy: Back from Emmaus. The Rt. Rev. Robert Wright\, 10th Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta\, will offer spiritual reflections\, welcoming us into a journey upward\, inward\, and outward in Jesus’ name—a journey that throughout provides joy for buoyancy\, growth\, and effectiveness. The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) invites us to name the disorientation that can accompany ministry as we reconnect to and are redirected for the fire of the Resurrection joy. \nRetreat Agenda (pdf) \nPlease make every effort to be present for the entirety of the retreat\, as observation of sabbath time and strengthening clergy collegiality is essential to the ministry we share. Register here by April 17. \nIf you’d like to have a professional headshot taken at the retreat on April 28 from 12:30-4:30pm\, sign up here. \nRegister Online

SUMMARY:Walking With the Enslaved Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the worshiping communities of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, you are invited to register for Walking with the Enslaved: A Pilgrimage toward Truth\, Reconciliation\, and Hope in Richmond. \nThrough this immersive\, faith-based experience\, participants engage with four centuries of Richmond’s racial history. On this journey\, we confront the ways that white people distorted Christianity to justify colonization\, slavery\, and the construct of racial identity while recognizing the role that Christian faith played for African Americans to inspire resistance\, hope\, and liberation. By uncovering the truth of this history\, we seek to inspire racial healing and equip communities to enact Jesus-centered justice in the future. \nThe pilgrimage occurs in two parts on separate\, consecutive days:  \nSaturday\, May 16th from 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM:  An experiential walking tour of historical sites\, including lunch\, that begins and ends at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (815 E. Grace Street). Participants stand and walk for extended periods during the site visits\, covering two to three miles overall with a bus transporting participants between some of the sites. \nExpect varying terrain and levels of difficulty\, including dirt trails\, cobblestones\, and moderate inclines. Please inform us of any mobility concerns ahead of time. \nSunday\, May 17th from 1 PM – 3 PM:  A facilitated group reflection at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church (2900 Hanes Ave.) from 1 PM to 3 PM. \nThe group reflection is integral to the pilgrimage experience. It is expected that anyone who signs up for the pilgrimage is committed to participating on both days. \nPilgrimage Fees & Support\nThe registration fee for the two-day pilgrimage is $35 per person. We offer scholarships so that cost is never a barrier to participation. \nThe true cost of offering this pilgrimage is closer to $100 per person. If you are able\, we warmly welcome additional donations to help sustain the program and make participation possible for others. \nParticipation is limited to 35 people. \nDetails on preparation and logistics will be provided to participants one week before the pilgrimage. \nFor more information or to inquire about scholarships\, please contact Dr. Glyn Hughes\, Program Director.

SUMMARY:Walking With the Enslaved Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the worshiping communities of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, you are invited to register for Walking with the Enslaved: A Pilgrimage toward Truth\, Reconciliation\, and Hope in Richmond. \nThrough this immersive\, faith-based experience\, participants engage with four centuries of Richmond’s racial history. On this journey\, we confront the ways that white people distorted Christianity to justify colonization\, slavery\, and the construct of racial identity while recognizing the role that Christian faith played for African Americans to inspire resistance\, hope\, and liberation. By uncovering the truth of this history\, we seek to inspire racial healing and equip communities to enact Jesus-centered justice in the future. \nThe pilgrimage occurs in two parts on separate\, consecutive days:  \nSaturday\, June 13th from 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM:  An experiential walking tour of historical sites\, including lunch\, that begins and ends at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (815 E. Grace Street). Participants stand and walk for extended periods during the site visits\, covering two to three miles overall with a bus transporting participants between some of the sites. \nExpect varying terrain and levels of difficulty\, including dirt trails\, cobblestones\, and moderate inclines. Please inform us of any mobility concerns ahead of time. \nSunday\, June 14th from 1 PM – 3 PM:  A facilitated group reflection at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church (2900 Hanes Ave.) from 1 PM to 3 PM. \nThe group reflection is integral to the pilgrimage experience. It is expected that anyone who signs up for the pilgrimage is committed to participating on both days. \nPilgrimage Fees & Support\nThe registration fee for the two-day pilgrimage is $35 per person. We offer scholarships so that cost is never a barrier to participation. \nThe true cost of offering this pilgrimage is closer to $100 per person. If you are able\, we warmly welcome additional donations to help sustain the program and make participation possible for others. \nParticipation is limited to 35 people. \nDetails on preparation and logistics will be provided to participants one week before the pilgrimage. \nFor more information or to inquire about scholarships\, please contact Dr. Glyn Hughes\, Program Director.
