The Anglican Cathedral of Second Life Leadership Team
The Leadership Team works to serve the Anglicans of Second Life community by coordinating the services and activities held at the Anglican Cathedral of SL, managing the day to day details of life on Epiphany Island, and implementing ideas brought to us by our community members. We are always eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions on enhancing our services and offerings. You can communicate with us in several ways. We have a “Comments & Suggestions” box at the entrance to the cathedral, where you can leave a notecard at any time. You can contact us inworld by IM or notecard (notecards are sometimes best, as IM’s can be capped by the system). Or you can just speak to us in person after services, or whenever you see us! Some of us have also given email addresses below, which you can use as well. We love to hear from you!
Cady Enoch (Mary Wanamaker) – Chair of the Anglicans of Second Life Leadership Team
When not in SL, I work as an office administrator at a community college in the US, and maintain a home for my pet conure, Floyd, who graciously allows me to live with her. I enjoy exploring social networks, and finding new ways to connect with people around the world. You can contact me by email at cadyenoch [at] columbus.rr.com.

You already know me as Flora Timeless on SL. I’m just popping by to say hello… and I’m quite glad to be a new parish member! =)

Hi,
I think that I will try and join the Anglican Community in SL, as I created my account there today.
I am a Christian in the CofE in real life, and have been a scout leader and a youthworker as well as a software engineer.
My id in SL is TonyG Trefoil.
In Christ,
Tony

Mark,
I have had a (wacky) thought.
When you are made deacon on the 24th November 2007, would it be worth trying to get a licencing service in the cathedral in SL, perhaps with your diocisean bishop having an avatar for it?
I have been listened to your sermon on the 5th November, that you don’t want the priesthood to be super-exhaulted above the call of God on each of our lifes.
What do you think?
In Christ,
Tony

Since Father Mark is now Father Mark, don’t you think you’d better update his entry up there (grin)?
Congratulations, Mark!

Thanks Harper! Change made.

Any SL Bishops appointed yet? Even better if they’re twittering too…
March 18, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Greetings Phil,
Welcome! I am licenced as a Priest to the ministry and we have a couple of Bishops who are involved, +Guildford and +Wellington (NZ) but no Bishop yet! I have floated the idea of a Bishop of the Internet…
March 18, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Thanks Mark – maybe +John Sentamu could be persuaded to consecrate someone? He’s just started on twitter @JohnSentamu so evidently isn’t afraid of social media connections!
Cheers!

PLEASE not a bishop of the internet! We’ve too many already! Used to have twice the people and half the bishops..
On ministry wasn’t it John Robinson who said, ‘You can have as high a doctrine of the priesthood as you like as long as your doctrine of the church is higher; you can have as high a doctrine of the church as you like as long as your doctrine of the kingdom is higher.’
