FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTEGRITY FORT WORTH CALENDAR INCLUDES EUCHARIST WITH BP. WALLIS OHL

Fort Worth, Texas—Integrity Fort Worth, a support group for the LGBT community primarily in the Episcopal Diocese of Forth, has announced activities and dates throughout December 2011. A highlight of the year promises to be a “working lunch Bible Study and Eucharist,” celebrated by the Rt. Rev. Wallis Ohl, provisional bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, according to Integrity Chapter Convener David Lindsey.

“We are thrilled that Bp. Ohl has included Integrity Fort Worth in his busy schedule,” Lindsey said. “Bp. Ohl will lead an ‘African’ or ‘Lambeth’ Bible study for our chapter as part of a working lunch Saturday, Nov. 12.” The Bible Study will serve as the “Liturgy of the Word” at an agape-style Eucharist celebrated by Bp. Ohl. A lunch will be served following Eucharist in the parish hall of St. Christopher Episcopal Church, 3550 SW Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76133. All Integrity functions are open to the public.

The Fort Worth Chapter will be specifically inviting all clergy in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth to attend the Bible Study-Eucharist-Lunch with Bp. Ohl. Integrity Fort Worth had “Dinner with the Bishop” in 2009 and 2010, but has not heretofore celebrated Eucharist with the bishop of the Diocese.
