[Episcopal Life Online] 4 Mar 2008--Anglican Province of the Southern Cone Archbishop Gregory Venables will make what the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth is calling "a pastoral visit" to the Texas-based diocese during the first weekend of May.

According to a statement on the diocesan website, Venables will meet with all the clergy of the diocese at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Fort Worth on May 2. He will also address a specially called convocation of the 2008 convention delegates May 3 at St. Vincent’s Cathedral in Bedford, Texas.

"The purpose of the convocation is to provide information: Archbishop Venables will answer questions from the delegates, but no legislation will be considered," the statement said.
Venables will preach the morning of May 4 at the cathedral, and on that evening at St. Andrew’s Church in downtown Fort Worth. Question-and-answer forums will follow the services at both churches, according to the statement.

"The Diocese of Fort Worth is considering aligning with the Province of the Southern Cone, and this visit will help clarify the practicalities, benefits, and possible drawbacks of such a move," the release said.
