The Editor's Desk...
Very quickly now General Convention 2006 will be upon us. The Episcopal Church will make decisions that will affect not only ourselves but will determine a future for the entire Anglican Communion, a future we cannot foresee.
Whatever happens, many will be saddened, lost, confused.
And yet I say, and say seriously, this is a time of joy.The church is never better, the church is never more itself, than when it doesn't know what will come next, when it throws itself fully into the hands of the Holy Spirit, when it hears the song begun 2000 years ago and still sung today.
We may lose happiness, we may lose comfort, we may lose some part of a fellowship that we have held dear. But enfolded in the Spirit we will not lose hope and we will will not lose joy and we will not lose the Love that holds all other loves within itself.
"Fear not," the angels cry to us.
