The Power of Connection Through Faith and Community

Bishop C. Andrew Doyle joined faith and community leaders at Houston reVision’s The Power of Connection Luncheon on November 3, 2026, at the Junior League of Houston. The gathering recognized individuals whose work creates opportunities for young people and strengthens connections across the community.

The event highlighted the mission of Houston reVision, an organization committed to building communities where all young people, especially those facing significant barriers, can belong, excel, and lead. Through sports, dance, artistic expression, and meaningful relationships, reVision creates spaces where young people can develop their potential and build connections with others.

Honoring Lives of Service

Among those recognized was the Rev. Mary Reddick, an Episcopal deacon. Reddick was recognized for her years of ministry and support for young women.

The luncheon also honored the Rev. Dr. Justin Coleman, senior pastor of University United Methodist Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who received the 2026 reVisionary Award. The award recognizes individuals who make a difference in the lives of others through their work and relationships.

Coleman’s ministry emphasizes that people should not be defined by their worst moments. Instead, every individual deserves dignity, understanding, and the opportunity to move forward.

These values resonate with the Episcopal Diocese of Texas’ commitment to putting faith into action through ministries and community initiatives that foster belonging, compassion, and hope.

The luncheon highlighted how relationships, community partnerships, and continued support can create opportunities for young people across Houston.
