This is my message in the January 2012 pre-Convention issue of The VOICE, in English and Spanish.
“Living into Christ’s mission.” This is the theme of our upcoming Diocesan Convention. It echoes with ‘stepping out in audacious faith,’ which was last year’s theme. Both metaphors direct us out from the church and into the world. And while it is the case that much of our work at Convention will be taken up with the business of the church – electing people to various offices, hearing reports, voting on resolutions and on the diocesan budget, and celebrating various people and accomplishments – our challenge will be to keep our focus on Christ’s mission.
