In an age when most of us live digitally, Sam beckons us to the incarnate life and asks us to engage our selves, souls, and bodies with Jesus as we travel toward the empty tomb. A must-read for any Christian on the journey today.” —Michael R.

With unswerving courage, elegant simplicity, and captivating example, it scrutinizes the assumption that the crucifixion was about fixing human problems, and instead suggests it was the culmination of God’s disarming purpose to be with us, no matter what. This transformation from “for” to “with” discloses a profound, moving, and inspiring vision of what the central event of the Christian faith was truly about. 9780898699777 | $9.95 | Special Price: $7.46 Getting to Know Jesus (Again) Meditations for Lent Peter M.

    Michael B. Curry, “Healing a House Divided” Lecture sponsored by the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics Graham Chapel at Washington University in St. Louis April 4, 2017 Holden Thorp, Provost, Washington University in St. Louis Welcome, everyone. What a thrill it is to welcome you to this event that we have Been looking forward to for such a long time. To have the presiding Bishop Curry visiting us here at Washington University, it is the goal of the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics to embody great teaching and scholarship, But also to host conversations like this that draw folks interested in the topics of religion and politics in America to venues like this for what is oBviously going to Be another very important conversation. So thanks to all of you for joining us and congratulations to Marie Griffith and the folks at the Danforth Center on putting together yet another spectacular event. It is a special privilege for me to Be here to welcome my old friend, Michael Curry, who I’ve known since I was a parishioner at Holy Family, long Before I came to St. Louis, and those of you who know Michael know that he is an inspirational preacher, he is a leader of exceptional compassion and courage and I’ve never Been prouder to Be an Episcopalian than when Michael Curry was named the presiding Bishop. So Michael thank you for all you do for us. And to introduce Michael, another person of extraordinary generosity and vision who made it possiBle for us to Be here today, his vision for the Center and all we are doing today has transformed the University and given us a new way to engage with the public on topics that are of great importance, so it’s my pleasure now to turn it over to one of the greatest friends that Washington University has, Senator Jack Danforth.

In following Jonathan Winch, who has served the College for nearly all of our 26-year history, and led the College as Principal for 12 years, I have some pretty big shoes to fill! In seeking to serve some of the most dedicated and impressive young people I know, the responsibility is considerable. But while change in leadership inevitably brings with it some new approaches to the way we work, we have been seeking, as a College, to remind ourselves of the things which should never change. Central to the success of Emmanuel College is a commitment to do what is right, pursue the truth and grow in character by living out our core values to the glory of God. A vitally important part of our Christian ethos is the pursuit of excellence – something Emmanuel is known for in our local area and beyond. A determination to be the best we can be for the benefit of everyone in our community will remain at the heart of all we do. One of the ways in which we seek to ensure we live out these values in our lives now and in the future is by developing an attitude of servant-hearted leadership.

  • 80Th General Convention of the Episcopal Church 2022
    The Episcopal Church Reports to the 80th General Convention Otherwise known as The Blue Book Volume 1 Reports of the Committees, Commissions, Agencies, and Boards to The General Convention of The Episcopal Church Baltimore, in the State and Diocese of Maryland July 7th – 14th, 2022 Copyright © 2021 The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America Office of the General Convention 815 Second Avenue New York, New York 10017 Preface A.D. 2021 A few years ago, a meme appeared showing a neighborhood map with a drawing of a steepled church building labeled, “This is not a church.” Nearby were drawings of streets, shops, hospitals, and houses – each one with the caption, “This is the church.” If we didn’t already know, the years since the 79th General Convention have certainly surprised us with that insight. When a pandemic causes the cessation of public worship and a severe limitation of traditional sacramental and public ministries of the church, existential questions become as common as musings on the weather. What is the church when familiar milestones and measures become meaningless? What is the church when people are sick and dying around the world, and social divisions impede healing and comforting the sick and dying? What is the church when racial injustice is exposed at every level and in every structure of society? What is the church when truth becomes as fluid as Pilate’s fateful pondering? We will continue to answer these questions, but the global crisis caused by the emergence of Covid-19 concentrated our minds.

  • Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Family Planning
    Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Family Planning As religious leaders, we are committed to helping all people thrive spiritually, emotionally, and physically, which includes their sexual and reproductive health. Millions of people ground their moral commitment to family planning in their religious beliefs. Most faith traditions accept modern methods of contraception, and support it as a means of saving lives, improving reproductive and public health, enhancing sexuality, and encouraging intentional parenthood. Even within faith groups that limit or prohibit such services, the religious commitment to freedom of conscience allows couples to choose contraception to intentionally create their families. While there are strong public health and human rights arguments for supporting domestic and international family planning programs, here we invite you to consider the religious foundations for affirming safe, affordable, accessible, and comprehensive family planning services. A DIVINE GIFT Religious traditions teach that sex and sexuality are divinely bestowed gifts for expressing mutual love, generating life, for companionship, and for pleasure. From a religious point of view, sexual relationships are to be held sacred, and therefore should always be responsible, mutually respectful, pleasurable and loving. The gift of sexuality is violated when it is abused or exploited. Accessible, safe, and effective contraception allows for a fulfilling sexual life while reducing maternal and infant mortality, unintended pregnancies, abortions, and sexually transmitted infections. SACREDNESS OF FAMILY Our faith traditions affirm that parenthood is sacred, and therefore should not be entered into lightly nor coerced. Families in their diverse forms are best upheld in environments where there is love and respect, children thrive, and women’s welfare is protected.
