Welcome
to the website of the Diocese of New Jersey, the Episcopal
Church in the lower two-thirds of the State of New Jersey.
We're glad you stopped by and hope you find what you're
looking for. If you don't, contact
us and we'll help.
In
addition, there was voting, reporting, singing,
laughing, eating, networking, and just the
simple matter of being 900 Jersey Episcopalians
in one place for two days.
The arts do more than provide an experience of beauty. They are a channel
God’s presence and spirit touching a place deep within us to bring
peace, energy and hope. You are invited to explore the visual arts as an
experience of God with Jane Tomaine, priest in residence in the Diocese of
Newark, and author of St. Benedict's Toolbox (Morehouse).
An
intentional day for preaching, teaching,
testimony, and theological reflection
about vocation: claiming and expressing
a passion and purpose for our lives as
friends and followers of Jesus Christ.
Ultimately, Passion and Purpose Sunday is about
renewing a sense of vocation for all Christians.
The diocese is supplying resources and ideas
for clergy, church school teachers and youth
leaders, including preaching helps, lesson plans,
and aids for personal reflection.
