Fall 2023 Canterbury Wrap-Up

Throughout the Fall 2023 semester, the young adult group Canterbury within the Episcopal Upper Diocese of South Carolina experienced significant growth and encountered valuable opportunities. At the start of the semester, peer ministers, spiritual leaders, and various members from different Canterbury communities across the diocese convened with Katelyn Kenney and Bishop Daniel Richards to deliberate potential avenues for Canterbury’s expansion and reflect on its significance to each of us. Subsequently, after a few weeks, the peer ministers got together for the Canterbury orientation, during which we delved into the profound responsibilities of being peer leaders in today’s world. We explored how assuming this role shapes our immediate environment and acquired lessons on navigating challenging situations that may arise in the future. In summary, the experience from this past semester was truly remarkable, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
