Death Penalty Opponents:

Please consider helping with a short-term campaign to find support for legislation that would exclude execution as a punishment for defendants whom the court determines are severely mentally ill.

It’s simply a matter of signing a postcard—and asking a few friends to do the same.

Call the office if you can help! And for compelling news items, videos and personal stories, visit the Kentucky Coalition Against the Death Penalty website.

JustCommunity Advent 2011 has a theme of “Choosing to Incarnate Peace”.

To incarnate…to embody…to become flesh…Incarnation is theological term that is at the heart of our Christian belief in Jesus, God embodied as one of us.

Our challenge in a world that constantly wrestles with the temptations of violence is to seek to embody the Christ who is peace, both as individuals and as The Beloved Community.

We invite you to be alert to this theme and its challenges as it unfolds in our community worship, in opportunities for prayer and reflection, and in options for action that call us to raise the voice of embodied peace in our world.

Watch the website, parish-wide emails, and this space for more as the season unfolds!

Those of us who have been at Epiphany since 2005 are very familiar with Sharon Bidwell, who was part of the staff here for 2 ½ years. She was our Minister of Social Responsibility from August, 2005 until January, 2008, and filled that position very well for us during that time.

Sharon was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but later lived in Ohio. In her life before Epiphany, she had done textbook publishing, massage therapy, technical writing, and corporate communications. She was not raised a Catholic, but began to sense that something was missing in her faith life when she was in her 30’s. Her questions took her to the master’s program in theology at the University of Dayton, where she discovered the rich and living tradition of Catholic social teaching. It was during her studies there that she became a Catholic. She first took part in the JustFaith program at the Church of the Incarnation, part of the Dayton deanery of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Interested in action for peace?

We’re offering the opportunity to begin an ongoing small faith community with a mission of peacemaking. This group will pray, reflect and mission together.

Upcoming activity: help our parish create “the homemade gift of peace” this coming Advent.
