Annual Council Resolution R-1 (2013) resolved that "November
2, 2014, All Souls Day, will be designated as the 'Day of Repentance and
Reconciliation' in the Diocese of Southern Virginia and parishes will annually hold this observance during the octave of All Saints."
We have just shared our diocesan reconciliation service with a parish in Clay City, Kansas, as they begin a process of reconciliation. We encourage all parishes to live into R-1 and plan a meaningful service during the octave of All Saints. In the diocesan service we used a story format. "Repentance, Reconciliation and Healing: A liturgical resource for congregations" follows the format of Holy Women, Holy Men. This booklet offers several options for readings and psalms.
If you need further assistance or have questions, please contact Canon Caroline Black, cblack@diosova.org, or a member of the Repairers of the Breach Commission.
