Voice of the Vestry – Proud of my church

by Elizabeth Black, Junior Warden I have to say that I’ve always been proud to be an Episcopalian. I was born into the church and baptized before I had any say in the matter. But I’ve always been a fierce advocate of equality. Perhaps it comes from being the middle of three girls. We were …

Voice of the Vestry: Resurrection and Rebirth

by Barb Dancer, Senior Warden Mary sobbed, alone – Jesus was gone. Angels appeared. And then Jesus himself appeared – but she didn’t recognize him.

by Elizabeth Black, Junior Warden When we have change, we often have fear. Something is missing. Something is gone. And when it is not replaced immediately, our sense of self preservation, of self-protection kicks in; “Oh my gosh! What is going to happen? What will we do without it? How do we replace it? Fix …

Voice of the Vestry: my spiritual journey

by Maria DiStefano-Post “Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.” – …
