Some very tentative conclusions - subjective and personal to me

These thoughts are my thoughts alone and do not represent my diocesan team or the Indaba project.

...trying to come to some tentative conclusions about my experiences of the Episcopal church - I think I am meeting with a kind of Holy Welfare State system. There are many beautiful people here. What is being challenged for me are ideas like the sufficiency of Christ, ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of scripture. God is feeding many of his people here through their bellies and through their eyes and their noses with the incense and the liturgy - I have to trust he is feeding their spirits too...I am realising just how conservative my training has been and I am wondering if I am very much in need of a year or two of liberation theology modules...I have a lot to unpack...I am imagining that Adrian Worsfold would feel very much at home in the Episcopal church...more to come - next post
