God of truth uncovered, you trace the sparrow's flight; and plumb the secret places of the heart; bring out fear and conflict into the light of your presence; help us to lose our hollow life and find our way to you; through Jesus Christ, the master and the slave. Amen.
From Prayers for an Inclusive Church, by Steven Shakespeare

Word for the Week ~ Cross
Jesus promises to give us life, abundant life, and the context in which he speaks presumes the inevitability of the cross, which he doesn't spare us but shares with us. Our theology hangs on the cross. And we either pick it up, or stumble over it, because it most certainly is there for those of us who choose to follow Jesus.
- Br. Curtis Almquist

Bishop Search Committee invites all to Listening Sessions
The Search Committee invites all Episcopalians to participate in one of the upcoming listening sessions to discuss your hopes, dreams and expectations for the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas and our next bishop. Your voice is needed so we may accurately represent who we are-in all our diversity as a diocese-to the Episcopal Church and prospective nominees for bishop. Participating in a listening session will help us develop a survey instrument that will be administered to clergy and laity throughout the diocese in the coming weeks and, ultimately, will help us write the narrative for the diocese's profile. Please come!
