Diocese Represented at Province IV Youth Ministries Leadership Meeting in Kentucky

The Rev. Cn. Ramelle McCall, diocesan canon for leadership, was accompanied by the Rev. Laura Rezac (St. Stephen's, Charleston) and George Dowis (Grace Church Cathedral) and two diocesan youth (Ellison Gray Babb and Jack Clayton from Grace Church Cathedral) at the Cathedral Domain Conference Center in Irvine, Kentucky from December 1-4 at the Province IV Youth Ministries Leadership Meeting. It was a great opportunity for youth and youth leaders to listen to each other, share ideas, and develop ministry ideas for Province IV (which includes 20 dioceses of The Episcopal Church in the southeastern US).

After returning home, Canon McCall reflected on what he learned from the event. "It was a fantastic event, and it showed us that each diocese has the capability and tools to produce great events for our youth," said Cn. McCall. "However, each diocese in Province IV agreed that we need to give more trust to our youth in decision making and work to create a better social media presence so that we can better meet them where they are." 

Many thanks to this group for representing the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina at this important gathering. View more photos from the meeting on the diocesan Facebook page at this link.
