We have heard it said that All Saints is going to leave the Episcopal Church. It s not true. Leadership involves getting out front and taking risks. It is not a matter of consensus. Our politicians take overnight polls, decide what the American public wants, and then say they have a bold vision.
Applause breaks out because they already know what the public wants.
Leadership involves getting out front and taking chances for the Kingdom. We are not leaving. We are called to lead the Church. It is not a symbol of defiance. Rather, it is a symbol of authority and commitment to move, act and lead.
