>> Greetings!

>> There is so much news for this In Prov 2 that it is not all in this e-mail. There are links in this document to the Province II website, where the complete newsletter, with all its pictures, slide shows and articles can be read online.  There is also a pdf version (with fewer pictures and no slide shows).  Enjoy!

>> Explore with Province II youth
>> Our young people are one of our most precious resources. Looking through their eyes we see new things, are drawn into new ways of doing and thinking, renew our own excitement, joy and wonder and so, so much more. Look now around the province at "What I did on my summer vacation" and explore with our young people.
>>  
>> When I started thinking about this article back in June it was with the assumption that "everyone" would be going to EYE (Episcopal Youth Event)  in Minneapolis and that's what we'd write about.  Since EYE was June 22-26 and NY's Regents Exams were still being given on June 22 and 23,  most of the NY dioceses were unable to send groups. Although much of the US is out by Memorial Day, school is not guaranteed to be out for the summer in NY and NJ until after June 25, especially if there have been heavy snows and fierce hurricanes. Of course, that doesn't even consider our three off-shore diocese that are very unlikely to be able to send anyone!
>>  
>> There was a Province II presence at EYE, however, since Western New York, New Jersey and Newark took delegations. Our other dioceses were not idle and many of them have sent word of what they did do. Read on and share the excitement, joy and wonder of our young people.
>>  
>> There is so much content that it could not all be placed in this e-mail.  You will find links to the complete newsletter on the  Province II website. 
>>  
>> EYE
>> Compiled from the blog of Bronwyn Clark Skov, Officer for Youth Ministries, The Episcopal Church 
>> The Episcopal Youth Event was a ten day event that included three days of mission. The gathering was held at Bethel University and supported by their summer conference staff.
>> We need the prophetic vision of these young people, their enthusiasm, and their energy for mission.  
>>  
>> The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, told them to "get connected" and go out and "heal the world." House of Deputies President, Bonnie Anderson, invited them to "jump in to the waters of Baptism."  read more... 
>>  
>>  WNY
>> From Jay Phillipi, who is the Province II Youth Network Coordinator, as well as the Youth Missioner in the Diocese of Western New York...
>> Some people went to EYE11 and had the time of their lives. Western New York got a story to tell for the rest of their lives just getting to the event. Because of bad weather in the way of their connecting flight the WNY delegation ended up going on a five airport trip that extended over 24 hours. They slept on the floor of the St. Louis airport and had to find new resources inside themselves. In the end the entire delegation (and ALL their luggage!) arrived in Minneapolis in the final hours of the second day.  read more...

>> From Fr. Tyler Slade,Youth Director,Diocese of Albany...
>> This past summer was a very full season for the Diocese of Albany youth. As usual, Beaver Cross Camp was bustling with kids from all over the region. Camp is such a fun time for our kids, with all sorts of activities from archery to our high and low ropes course, swimming, canoeing & kayaking, arts & crafts, nature, every kind of sport (we even tried rugby this year in honor of our counselors from the UK!), fishing, worship & music, dance and more. Wow, it makes you want to be a kid again doesn't it? read more and see all the slide shows and pictures...

>> The Diocese of New Jersey launches another One Book! program for Fall 2011
>> 
>> Bishop George Councell's choice for the Fall 2011 One Book program is 'Becoming an Anti-Racist Church: Journeying toward Wholeness', by the Reverend Joseph Barndt.
>> 
>> Why read this book, asks Bishop Councell? He answers this way:
>> 'When I was engaged in an anti-racist program twenty years ago in another diocese we encountered strong resistance. The effort to become an anti-racist church was dismissed as just another attempt at "political correctness." I said to a black priest, "I don't want to do this to be politically correct." "Good," he said. "Do it because you're my brother."'
>>  
>> 'I am inviting us to read this book as an expression of our commitment to repent and to follow Jesus Christ. We know that, by stretching out His arms upon the hard wood of the Cross, Christ reconciled the world to God. No one is to be left outside His saving embrace. And yet,
