[The Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth] 19 Nov 2007--Greetings and welcome in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to this 25th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. It promises to be a momentous one, with long lasting implications for all of us.

I would like to set the tone for our deliberations today by beginning with a quote from St. Paul the Apostle in the 16th chapter of his First Letter to the Corinthians: “Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” (I Corinthians 16:13-14) What a wonderful text to guide and direct us as we debate the proposals that are before this Convention.
