About our retreat leader, The Rev. Summer Gross

Summer Gross is an Anglican priest, a writer, a homeschool mom, and very-much-in-love with her husband of 22 years, The Rev. Canon Andrew Gross, Archbishop Foley’s communications director. Andrew and Summer had an Aquila and Priscilla ministry for ten years in a parish along the coast of Lake Michigan. These days she spends the afternoons doing spiritual direction with women around the world, holding their stories and bringing them to Jesus. She is the Director of Soul Care at Holy Cross Cathedral in Loganville GA and leads Healing and Prayer ministries.

Summer spent many years paralyzed by anxiety and isolated by a swirl of toxic thoughts. As she broke free, she began studying inner healing and neuroscience and offers a small group where she’s witnesses one person after another transformed by the risen Christ. She’s passionate about giving practical ideas to help women root and establish in God’s love so that they can live out of their identity as God’s beloved.

"Be Still and Know that He is God" Retreat, Summer will lead us deeper in our walk exploring...

Finding the peace of God through praying the Scriptures,

Cultivating stillness in a world addicted to busy,

How clinging to the Presence of God takes us through spaces of suffering and empowers our prayer life,

How a person saturated with the Presence can provide the good news the world needs,

How we can serve out of Christ’s energy and be filled with the compassion of Jesus.

Together Summer and Andrew and their three kids (13,12, and 9), love to tent camp, kayak, and eat their way around the world. While she craves the barbecue of Atlanta where they live, Summer is completely sure that heaven is a long table overlooking the Tuscan countryside. Her words and lectio divina videos find a home at aThirstforGod.com and on instagram at @revsummerjoy.

I believe the more rooted we are in God’s abundant love, the more we are able to serve with abandon.

Questions regarding ACNA Affiliation

Dear Sisters in Christ in the DOK SC Assembly,

The Diocese of SC recently affiliated with ACNA (Anglican Church in North America).   A question has been asked by some Daughters and clergy  regarding  whether the new ACNA affiliation affects the status of Daughters in ACNA parishes.

The answer is the following:

The Order of the Daughters of the King® is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation supported solely by the dues and donations of its members and friends.  Daughters of the King may be members of  Anglican, Episcopal , Lutheran , and Roman Catholic churches.  The Order is not controlled by any denomination and currently has about 24,000 women and girls in its membership in the United States and nearly  5,000 members in the Anglican Communion in 21 countries throughout the world.

Our DOK SC Assembly currently has Anglican, Episcopal, and Lutheran Daughters.  The Diocese of South Carolina's affiliation with the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) does not change the membership status of Daughters in the Diocese of SC.  Everything remains the same.  

If you have questions or members of your clergy have questions, please contact me directly.  I will be glad to discuss any questions that you may have about The Order.

For His sake,

Kathy
