A New Day Dawns

In the midst of Covid-19, preparing for a move across country, a new ministry dawns for my wife and I and we are honored to serve. As we await our move to South Dakota, I think of the words of Bishop Steven Charleston.

Bishop Steven is the retired Episcopal Bishop of Alaska, retired Dean of Episcopal Divinity School, and a member of the Choctaw nation:

“Give your heart to love today, not to old thoughts of who you were, but to the new idea that your kindness could change another life. Give your mind to hope today, not to the usual list of impossibilities, but to a single faith that goodness is the purpose of history. Give your spirit to peace today, not to the anger of the moment, but to the welcoming road of grace that leads to the home for which you have longed. Give your hands to the work of justice today, not in resignation but in certainty, knowing that what you do will make an enormous difference.”
