This Is the Work of the Church

"Crossing borders. Crossing time zones. Reaching out. Giving invitations. Accepting invitations. Taking risks. Talking. Listening. Opening our eyes, our ears, our hearts. Breaking down barriers, climbing over walls (real or imagined), recognizing strangers as friends.

"This is the work of the Church. Love. We need each other. The world needs us. There is work to be done—and joy to be had."

—Margaret Larom, Director of Anglican and Global Relations, from Episcopal Life, January 2006
