This is an Episcopal moment

"This is an Episcopal moment" - Bishop Michael Curry

Bishop Michael Curry of the Diocese of North Carolina says the Episcopal Church is well-suited to the challenges of preaching the Gospel in a multi-faith world.

The exercise of mercy

The Measure of Freedom

Jon Sobrino

The exercise of mercy is the measure of freedom--that state of being which is universally hailed as a human ideal in the Western world. When he healed on a Sabbath, Jesus was violating the rules and norms of his time because he was merciful, not because he was a liberal. Jesus understood freedom from the point of view of mercy, not the other way around. For him, freedom meant that nothing could stand in the way of the exercise of mercy.
