Just as well it was meetings all day for the bishops as the typhoon rains moved over and eventually out…. now all gone, yippee! After their Eucharist, the bishops had sessions in the morning from archbishops from Japan, Philippines and South Korea, and more meetings in the afternoon ~ while we set up our shop selling the HOB group photos, Taiwan 60th anniversary polo shirts, Chinese Bibles and tea…. so even the bishops could fit a little shopping into their busy day….. Meanwhile the spouses were free for the day and many of them went, well, yes, you’ve guessed it … Continue reading The Episcopal Church House of Bishops @ Taiwan – Meetings Day (oh, and a little shopping too!)

The Episcopal Church House of Bishops @ Taiwan ~ Spouses Outing Day!

Catherine Lee

Yep, spouses outing day ~ and what a great day we all had ~ YES, it really was amazing! While the bishops gathered for meetings all day, sharing and learning about ‘Theological Context and Mission Challenges’ in Taiwan, Hong Kong and then Pakistan, we made the most of the day and took the spouses out to experience something of Taiwan life…… One trip was planned for them to go to the National Marine Museum and Jiu-fen, led by Trinity Church, Keelung church members, and one trip was to Dharma Drum Mountain and Jinshan, led by us… In the event, it was … Continue reading The Episcopal Church House of Bishops @ Taiwan ~ Spouses Outing Day!

After the Eucharist, there were group photos outside in front of the Grand Hotel ~ but there was sooooooo many people in each photo that I couldn’t fit ’em all in ha ha – so you’ll have to wait for … Continue reading The Episcopal Church House of Bishops @ Taiwan ~ Day 1!
