My name is Barbara Mays-Stock, and I am one of the deacons of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island. Starting today, you will find regular articles on the deacons and also interesting and useful information about the Diaconate in Rhode Island. We hope that you will enjoy learning about what deacons are, what they do and maybe even realize that God has put a spark into you, asking you to consider the Diaconate as your calling to serve God, the world and the church!
NEXT TIME: A tribute to one of our deacons, Sue North, who has recently entered the next chapter of life. She was, and is, an inspiration to us in the many things that she said and did. Be sure to watch for our next posting!
Welcome to the Ocean State and our blog!
