Old domain name no longer works

Please note that the old diocesan domain name of episcopal-az.org no longer works after four years of using both. The official Episcopal Diocese of Arizona website can be found at azdiocese.org. Please make sure you go to our current site azdiocese.org and change any links or bookmarks you may have.

Shameless commerce department . . .

Laura Smith, Bishop Smith's wife, has a website about icons for contemplative prayer at ikonarts.net. Net proceeds from sales of all icons, prints, cards, and commissions go to relieve extreme global poverty through participation in the Millennium Development Goals.

Alleluia Fund benefits missions

Remember Arizona's Alleluia Fund. It builds new churches and supports new growth initiatives in existing churches! Your contribution of money, stocks, or land will make a vital difference. For more information, contact Carol D. Maher at either (623) 455-9515 or alleluiafund@azdiocese.org.

You can also support the Alleluia Fund
by purchasing items from our CafePress store.

To the best of my knowledge, every single church, mission, and preaching station within the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona now has (at least) a very basic website. Please go to www.azdiocese.org/map/list.html and check your church's website and its posted information and let me know of any changes that need to be made.

If you encounter any communication problems, please report it to me at greta@azdiocese.org.

Peace,

Greta Huls
Communications Officer
