Dear Fr. Wayne, Dcn. Chris and members of Christ our Hope,

We rejoice with you as you launch out on this new and great endeavor this morning.  It is a wonderful moment for our diocese and especially for our Ohio parishes.  I am honored to be a part of God’s work here and for the contribution our parishes have made to the growth and progress of the Reformed Episcopal Church.  May God continue to bless the fellowship we share making us evermore fruitful…and may He bless all of you today and always as you seek to accomplish His purpose and will.

Rejoicing and praying with you this morning,

Peter Manto and Trinity RE Church
