In the Kingdom of God, every moment is completely new and charged with divine possibilities. This is our opportunity—not to build a “church camp” based on an idealized past, but to look forward with a new and renewed vision. We have an opportunity to get outside of ourselves and to reach out to people of all backgrounds, whoever they are, wherever they may be, and whatever circumstance they may be facing—to offer a substantive and robust faith (indeed our inheritance) that is up to the very real challenges of our world; to equip people with that inner life in the Spirit and with leadership skills that they can faithfully draw on and put to work in their communities; and then to stand along side them, learning with them and allowing them to challenge and inspire us, going even more deeply into our relationship with Jesus, so that together we can be ever more fully the reconcilers, healers, and instruments of God’s peace in this world that we are all called by God to be.

It is a vision worth embracing. It is, in our time, the most needed and important work of evangelism that we can undertake.

It is time for all of us in The Episcopal Church in Colorado to go “all in” with the heart of the next generation. I ask you to join with me in this new ministry initiative by learning about Cathedral Ridge, asking questions, praying about it, getting involved, and contributing financially according to your means.

And remember this—although the expansion of facilities and renovation of buildings requires real resources, the actual goal is nothing less than the divine transformation of hearts and lives, ours and others, for the sake of that kingdom where absolute love reigns absolutely, here and now.

Just think of the possibilities. . .
