Episcopal News Service. February 2, 1993 [93026A]
The Diocese of Okinawa recently voted to donate $50,000 to the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief at its 27th convention at All Souls' Church, Chatan. The convention issued a statement saying that the donation was "a token of appreciation for the nurturing leadership of bishops, priests, deacons and laity, from the year of Our Lord 1951 to the present, who came and proclaimed by word and example the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ." The convention also extended greetings to Presiding Bishop Edmond Browning, asking for the "continued blessing of God upon the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Episcopal Church, U.S.A., whose work resulted in the formation and development of the Diocese of Okinawa." The convention also marked 1992 as the twentieth anniversary year of the transferral of the Diocese of Okinawa from the Episcopal Church, U.S.A., to the Nippon Seikokai, the Anglican Communion's province in Japan.
