Our 2025 diocesan convention fell on two consecutive blessedly beautiful days in Charleston last weekend. (The torrential downpour came the following day!)

And one that is often overlooked by the Body of Christ. Frontier mission is, in Chris Royer’s own words, “taking the gospel where the church is not.” How does Anglican Frontier Mission (AFM) reach these very difficult-to-reach areas?

For quite a while now, this small, humble poster (“laminated” with clear boxing tape) has been strategically positioned on a counter in our kitchen where we prepare tea and coffee.
