Published quarterly, MCN is a resource for Episcopalians throughout the diocese with messages from the bishops on current events and mission-specific issues, diocesan and parish news, features, information and events. It is a vital tool that mirrors where we are as a church and how we witness to our community, and provides an in-depth analysis of our mission.

Current Issue

Greening our Diocese

The Spring Issue of the Maryland Church News is now available online

Give us all a reverance for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory. (BCP, p. 388)

This issue of Maryland Church News is about God’s creation and our responsibility to maintain it, to strengthen it, to leave it in better shape than how we found it for generations to come. And there are some practical tips for what one person, a congregation of people or even the diocese can do to “green our diocese.”
