All Saints’ is shifting to what will hopefully be a more reliable platform from which to send our weekly and special email messages. Due to many kick-backs using our previous email platform, we are switching to google groups. Only office staff will be able to post messages to this group, but you will now receive a copy of every message posted to the group as they are posted.

Please keep the people of Honduras and Bishop Lloyd Allen in your prayers as they face uncertain times in light of the recent military coup in Honduras.

Below is a message from Bishop Allen:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns for the diocese and the people of Honduras. So far, the entire clergy, lay leadershiop and our families are all well. I spent the past weekend at one of my churches attending a prayer and praise vigil where many were baptized and confirmed. I returned home at five thirty a.m. to learn that President Zelaya had been outsted. The political tension had increased as President Zelaya pressed on with plans for a nonbinding referendum which opponents said would open the gate for him to rewrite the constitution to run for re-election dispite a one term limit. In the weeks leading up to yesterday's coup, supporters and opponents held demonstrations. Last week Congress and the Supreme Court ruled the referendum unconstitutional. On Thursday, the president led a group of protestors to an air force installation and seized the ballot boxes, which the procurator's office and the electoral tribunal had ordered confiscated.The armed forces commander, said the military would not participate in the referendum, President Zelaya fired him, and the Supreme Court declared the firing illegal.

I predict that you will be hearing a lot more about all that has happened. A month ago the country was shaken by a 7.1 earthquake and now this. What next and how much longer can this empoverished country survive? The actions leading up to these events will take us back in time, which will take us many years to recover from and regain confidence in the international eyes. I want to call on the Church to keep this diocese and the Honduran people highly in prayers. I really don't know what the future will bring. The Honduran delegation is ready to participate with you at General Convention. However, if the course of actions does not improve in the next few days, I may have to reconsider. Once again, so far, we are doing well. I will continue to update you all as of the course of events in this my country,

Faithfully in Christ Love
