Kristofer and “What’s this history have to do with me?”

What’s this history have to do with me?

Over this past weekend, the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland gathered for its 237th annual Convention. If you are one that ponders the centuries of church history, it is clear that so much has changed in how the church gathers. Amidst the challenges of this present age, we are figuring out how best to organize ourselves and for what purpose we meet. These are good things to contemplate, because the church is being constantly formed and reshaped to become the people that we are called to be for this moment we are ministering in. In today’s SSS video, Kristofer reflects on this Diocesan Convention, as well as the Feast of the first bishop in the Episcopal Church, Samuel Seabury (1729-1796). While he may not fully answer the question - “what’s this history have to do with me” - he hopes to give us all something to think and pray about, as God continues to guide us forward in this new creation we are becoming at St. Francis.
