EPISCOPAL GATHERING

VIRGINIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

2009 LIBERIAN EPISCOPALIANS GATHERING

Fellow Episcopalians: You are invited to the 4th Annual Gathering of Liberian Episcopalians in the United States scheduled to be held from April 17 - 19, 2009 at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia. The Bishop of (the Episcopal Diocese of) Liberia, The Rt Revd Jonathan Bau-Bau Bonaparte Hart will be our special guest. This Gathering will be open to non-ordained Liberian Episcopalians; and that consideration is being given to opening membership to the Laity.

Unfortunately, the accommodation that was set aside for us by the Seminary is now exhausted. Attached also is a list of nearby hotels. Interested persons should note that no arrangement (for special rates) have been made with these hotels.

Please contact the below listed priests for further assistance

As we look forward to seeing you at this reunion of Liberian Episcopalians, may we thank you so much for your dedication and commitment
