WalkAgain: Conversations for the Road Ahead

Eleven years ago, Bishop Rickel traveled throughout the diocese on his first walkabout, meeting the people of the diocese and visiting churches across Western Washington. Now, as we enter into a new phase of our life together, Bishop Rickel and representatives from our governing bodies will be traveling the diocese again for a series of conversations on our common vision and the road ahead. It will be a year of dialogue, a year of listening, and a year of growing together as the Episcopal Church in Western Washington. Join us for Bishop Rickel’s WalkAgain.
