Helping TREC re-imagine the Episcopal Church 1

November 18, 2013
John B. Chilton

The Task Force for Re-imagining the Episcopal Church is asking for feedback from across the church. They propose four prompts to stimulate conversation.

We are going to roll those prompts out in two and a half hour intervals today. Here’s the first:

As you reflect back over your experiences with The Episcopal Church, what is your very best memory? This could be a person, a spiritual moment, an event . . . . Whatever was extraordinary for you. Tell me about that memory. Reflect and then let me know the 3 words that best characterize this experience.

I was coming from a different, louder, less gentle tradition. The first service I spent in the first Episcopal parish I belonged to, I cried in relief and gratitude.

Gentleness.

Beauty.

Space (physical, mental, spiritual).

If I were to add a fourth, it would be Sanctuary, in its fullest sense.

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.

The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
