Diocesan Council Approves Campaign Funding for Columba House, Savannah

One of the priorities in the Campaign for Congregational Development is to set up three intentional communities around the Diocese. In November of 2012, the Diocesan Council approved a portion of the Campaign funds be used to establish the first of these communities. This summer the Diocese is launching the first of these intentional communities in Savannah. Columba House, which is located directly across from St. Paul’s, Savannah, will be a community of four young adults sharing a house and a common rule of life. They will follow monastic disciplines as a house, living out in a daily rhythm of morning and evening prayer and a common meal. The residents will spend a portion of each week working in the Savannah parishes, a portion of each week in spiritual development, and a portion of each week in “relational evangelism”. Once trained in the art of relational evangelism- how to begin the initial conversations about their faith with others- these young adults will spend time in places where young adults gather, building authentic relationships with other young adults, and inviting them into the Episcopal Church.

Columba House will be a great opportunity for those young adults interested in spending a year in ministry. The program will enable the interns to be apart of a community of service and will provide them with an opportunity to develop their leadership skills, discern their baptismal vocation, and deepen their spiritual life while sharing their spiritual journey with others.

Columba House is seeking young adults, who are college graduates with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for the gospel and the Episcopal Church. The program year will begin in mid-July 2013 and end in mid-June 2014 with an opportunity to continue their internship for a second year. The Diocese will provide housing as well as a grocery and travel allowance.
