Getting Started

Welcome to an experiment in online Church.

After getting home from visiting our Church's General Convention in Anaheim for a few days, I found myself looking for a way to connect with other moderate to progressive Episcopalians in the Diocese of Texas. My sense is that we are much more diverse and progressive than is often assumed. To test that theory, I thought I'd start this blog and see who shows up. This blog is my attempt to create a virtual space where we can connect and support one another as we work to advance the reign of Christ in our Texas context.

And with that, here we go!

For the Diocese
O God, by your grace you have called us in this Diocese to a goodly fellowship of faith. Bless our Bishops Andy, Dena, and Rayford, and other clergy, and all our people. Grant that your Word may be truly preached and truly heard, your Sacraments faithfully administered and faithfully received. By your Spirit, fashion our lives according to the example of your Son, and grant that we may show the power of your love to all among whom we live; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
