It all started with a vision. A big, impressive - maybe even audacious - vision.
At a weekend retreat, the vestry and leadership cast a vision for All Saints’ Beverly Hills.
The vision-casting technology we used defines vision as being the difference All Saints’ was created to make in the world. In a day-long, Holy Spirit-filled process, we were guided to this vision:
A WORLD TRANSFORMED BY JESUS.

A CALLING

At this time, then-Rector Rev. Carol Anderson and then-Senior Warden Andy Carmichael were becoming convinced that God was calling them to start the All Saints’ Association. They were struck
by the fact that while contemporary evangelical churches were well served by ‘churches teaching churches’ via conferences and consulting, there was very little of this kind of service specifically for liturgical churches. Yet there was clearly a demand, based simply on the number of calls from other Episcopal churches asking us to share our experience.

“We realized that there was a link between the vision and what God was calling us to do with ASA,” recalls Carmichael. “A world transformed by Jesus became a bit more realistic when you reach not just one congregation, but as many as 7,400 Episcopal churches and their congregations - let alone
all the other liturgical worship churches, in the US and overseas!”
