...I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I
who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in
the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, by the faith of the Son of God' who loved me and gave himself for me.

Voting as Stewardship...
An Election Day message from Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori
As Election Day approaches, I want to remind you that our democracy
gives us the opportunity to speak urgently about the many issues and
challenges confronting our nation and the world. I would encourage
every eligible voter to prayerfully consider the choices before us and
commit to using the political process to seek solutions to our
society's most intractable problems. As part of our baptismal vows we
commit "to strive for justice and peace among all people" and "respect
the dignity of every human being." As you prepare to vote, I urge you
to consider how the Reign of God - a just society - particularly as
explicated by the Hebrew prophets and by Jesus, can be made real in our
own day....read more here |
