Forward Movement: a season of prayer for advent
In Luke's telling of the Christmas story, startled shepherds are th first to hear that good news of great joy given to all people. Since then, through generations and generations, across the world, we keep sharing the Good News, receiving signs from God that in the coming of Jesus Christ, we have received the greatest gift of all.

About New Presiding Bishop!!!
What is the Way of Love?
The Way of Love is a way of life. More than a program or curriculum, it is a return to ancient pathways and Rules of Life that followers of Jesus have observed for centuries. They knew the power of commitment to a core set of practices--Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest--and the power of gathering in a small group where you find love and support for living into these commitments. If we hope to not only worship Jesus but to grow more like him and bear his redeeming love in the world, we can adopt a rule of life like the Way of Love and find a community with which to practice it.

"Being a Christian is not essentially about joining a church or being a nice person, but about following in the footsteps of Jesus, taking his teachings seriously, letting his Spirit take the lead in our lives, and in so doing helping to change the world from our nightmare into God's Dream."
...Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
