On the Canon's blog, Out of the Ordinary:

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

It’s been almost a week since Hurricane Sandy slammed into the New Jersey/New York coastline wreaking havoc and leaving devastation in her wake. Clean up efforts and power restoration are well underway in many areas, but many of our brothers and sisters both within our congregations and in our communities are nonetheless experiencing frustration, anger, and grief as continued outages, gasoline and food shortages, and delays and difficulties in reaching workplaces  and essential destinations become harder to deal with.

Joy! God’s presence is celebrated and embraced by the congregation.

Theology is Indigenous. Congregation knows the God-given mission to which it is called. Practices the Archeology of Hope (God is at work and has planted seeds of hope in the community).

Adaptive and responsive. The congregation’s mission and ministry are always being discerned and are open to change and transformation that is occurring both inside and outside in the community.
