The Werly's and their ilk are anything but "traditional" Episcopalians. <BR/><BR/>But we must remember that <I>all sorts and conditions</I> makes room for the Werly's, the Iker's, the Louie Crew's, the homeless, the poor man, the prostitute, the junkie. And if we dig deep, we find that isn't just about being Episcopalian - it is following the commandments of Christ. <BR/><BR/>We pride ourselves that we do great things in the Church. Who cares how many committees we're on or how much money we give or if we even wear a collar around our necks. In the end, what matters is what we have done to help and to exhort our fellow man and woman. <I>Faith without works is dead</I> - we should remember. <BR/><BR/>May God be with the Werly's and the Iker's and the Crew's and the poor man and the prostitute and the junkie. God bless them all and bring them all to be of one body, one spirit. May we each be reminded daily of our baptismal COVENANT: <BR/><BR/>Celebrant: Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? <BR/><B>People: I will, with God's help.</B><BR/>Celebrant: Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?<BR/><B>People: I will, with God's help.</B><BR/>(BCP, pg. 305)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07346054053029196178noreply@blogger.com
