In a new video, the Rev. Jana Troutman-Miller, member of the Steering Committee, provides an update on the Wisconsin Trialogue. Watch the video below or on YouTube.
Dear friends in Christ:
We are in an exciting moment as Episcopalians in Wisconsin. We hope you have heard something about the Trialogue, conversations taking place among Episcopalians across the state about the future shape of the Episcopal Church here. These conversations are broad and open-ended as we explore how we might collaborate throughout the state in ministry and mission, witnessing to the Good News of Jesus Christ. We hope to envision and embody new ways of being together as Wisconsin Episcopalians. In the book of Acts, the disciples found themselves moved and inspired by the Holy Spirit to cross boundaries between Jew and Gentile, to carry the gospel into all the world. So too are we being challenged by the Holy Spirit to embark on a new journey. Gracious God, in whom we put our trust, give us open hearts to listen prayerfully for your word and direction. We submit our desires and will to you, in humility, openness and patience, as we discern the right course of action for the Episcopal Church in Wisconsin. Guide us to proceed with graciousness toward unity in spirit and in truth. Help us to accept joyfully those tasks that accomplish Your will. We ask these things under the mercy of the Risen Christ. Amen.
