I've received a copy of the Bishop's Address given at Diocesan Convention last weekend. In the address, Bishop Wolf address many of the challenges that we face as Christians, as a diocese, and as a church. She puts this in the context of facing crossroads, and she says that this is a good time to be a Christian.
The ancient path for all of us is the path of faithfulness. Through faith and commitment, we do not fear roads that intersect, but acknowledge them to be the cross upon which we live for a time. We believe that resurrection will prevail, and the Light of Christ will enlighten the heart of the Church and the darkest corners of the world.
"The Lord said to Jeremiah, stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. (Jeremiah 6:16a)"
I encourage you to read her entire address, which is posted online here (PDF). For those of you who are looking, her comments on the Windsor Report and her position are near the end, on pages five and six.
