Dear People of God in the Episcopal Church: Yesterday, Donald Trump was sworn in as president of the United States. We pray that he and all of our elected officials will, in the words of the Book of Common Prayer, have the wisdom and strength to know and to do God’s will and be filled with the love of truth and righteousness.

The following letter from Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe was sent earlier today to leaders throughout The Episcopal Church. November 4, 2024Dear Friends in Christ,Our ministry together has officially begun, and I first want to thank you for the warm and generous welcome that so many of you extended to me and my family over the investiture weekend. Your video greetings and messages are reminders that we are, as I said on Saturday, one church. I am grateful for each of them and for you.

Following is a transcript of a sermon delivered by the Most Rev. Sean Rowe during the Nov. 2, 2024, service of Holy Eucharist and Investiture for the 28th presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church. Remarks have been lightly edited for clarity. So here we are, with Martha and Mary. We know them best perhaps from the passage in Luke where Martha is rushing around doing all the work, and Mary is listening to Jesus, and then Jesus is on Team Mary.

It has been a long time since I had back-to-school butterflies, but this year, I am experiencing something similar right alongside my daughter, who started middle school this week. That’s because on Nov. 1, I will become the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church. In my new job, I will be the chief pastor and chief executive office of our denomination, which comprises more than 100 dioceses in 17 countries across the world. To be honest, some days I have mixed feelings.

In a historic moment, Israel’s two chief rabbis, David Lau and Yitzhak Yosef, left office on Sunday with no clear successors elected in their stead, leaving the posts vacant for the first time since the 1920s. Last week, the pair closed out what were supposed to be 10-year terms that had been extended a year due to internal politicking that has repeatedly delayed the election of their replacements by the 150-member council of rabbis and public officials.
