CREEDY FOR CHANGE.

So this is our team creed... yes, we stole it. (http://www.iona.org.uk/) Oftentimes we'll end our team meetings off with the recital of this; it's inspiring and always help to energize and refocus us.


Happy (sad) Good Friday to you.
Blessings. 


We believe that God is present
in the darkness before dawn;
in the waiting and uncertainty
where fear and courage join hands,
conflict and caring link arms,
and the sun rises over barbed wire.

We believe in a with-us God
who sits down in our midst
to share our humanity.

(a little sassy in Hebron)

We affirm a faith

that takes us beyond a safe place:

into action, into vulnerability

and onto the streets.

We commit ourselves to work for change
and put ourselves on the line;
to bear responsibility, take risks,
live powerfully
and face humiliation;
to stand with those on the edge;
to choose life and be used by the Spirit
for God's new community of hope.

Amen
