To The Christian Community in the Taconic-Berkshire Region

Dear friends,

In my letter of March 8, 2020, I informed you that Rev. Liza Joy Marcato would be leaving your community. With intense gratitude for all that she has been able to do here, the Circle of Seven (our central leadership) has determined that her energy and many gifts are needed elsewhere, where she and the new community will be able grow and develop in new ways. The decision has been reached that Rev. Marcato will be sent to New York City. As a transition, she has requested a short sabbatical between placements, which the leadership fully supports, and which will begin on August 1 and run through the Fall. The leadership expects that she will begin her new assignment at the beginning of Advent.

Although the current world situation makes it difficult to plan far in advance, we expect that the farewell festivities will take place on Sunday, July 26. Your Events Committee will keep you informed.

With my best wishes for the further growth and development of our work in your region,

Warmly,
Rev. Craig Wiggins
