Episcopal Church Office on Public Affairs provides a report of the March meeting of the Task Force for Re-imagining the Episcopal Church (TREC):

We spent most of Friday working with the feedback that we have received thus far from throughout the church, including from the engagement kit, blogs, website postings, direct conversation, and a variety of other sources. We found the feedback formational for our ongoing work, and we very much appreciate the time and energy people put into engaging with us. Given the continued activity with the engagement kit, we have decided to keep it open and hope that more members will utilize it in small groups and large. Please continue to give us feedback through all different forums as we work toward our final report to be submitted later this year.

“Our work followed the rhythms of the traditional monastic hours utilizing Daily Prayers for All Seasons.”

Is part of this re-imagining ditching our Book of COMMON Prayer? I’m sorry, I know snark and throwing tomatoes from the peanut gallery isn’t particularly helpful but c’mon…really? What’s wrong with the BCP Office?

What more can we expect from our TEC Imagineers? A book? A film? A theme park? How about a change from our Downton Abbey attitude that everybody who should be an Episcopalian is an Episcopalian to really meaning that church welcoming sign. Probably do a lot more good than getting out the long knives to slash one or another part of the church’s governance according to one’s predilections, high or low.

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.
