Bishop Goes To Latin America
As the Suffragan to
the Archbishop for Latin America, Bishop +Simmons and his executive
administrative assistant, Fr. Chamberlin+, will make their second trip to Latin
America. Last year, along with their wives, made a missionary visit to the
diocese in Chili and Columbia. This year, in May, they will take their
missionary journey to Argentina and Uruguay.
They will visit Fr. Mauro+ in Buenos Aires, Maria Montenegro
in the Corrientes Province (NE) and Fr. Luis+ in Montevideo.
"This visit is expected to reinforce our relationship with
the clergy and laity of Argentina and Uruguay by strengthen the spiritual and
ecclesiastical bonds between us; reaffirm the clergy and laity in their
respective ministerial callings; enable us to access their needs; allow us to be
involved in vision-forecasting; and help us to get to know them better so we can
better serve them in Christ's Name", said Bishop +Simmons.
"What's next", I asked Bishop +Simmons.
"Our next trip will include my wife deaconess Maria+, my
executive administrative assistant and his wife sister Doris, and deacon Len
Gavin and his wife sister Vickie. Archbishop ++Mark Camp and several priests
from other diocese in our province".
"Will the mission trip have the same objectives as the one in
May"?
"Well yes, to a certain degree, mainly we will be in
conference with clergy and laity who are members of our province throughout
Latin America. It will probably include some ordinations and Christian
fellowship," the Bishop responded."
"Sounds like a great vacation!" I interjected.
"These are not vacations", the Bishop retorted "They are
business trips, the business of fulfilling the Gospel message. We are on a
mission to fulfill 'The Great Commission' as set down by Jesus in Matthew
28:19,20.
'Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you'."
