QUOTES FROM THE RECTOR THAT WILL TWEAK THE SEEKERS' CURIOSITY!

It’s clear why Robby is a staunch supporter of The Seekers’ when you read these quotes he enthusiastically just shared with the congregation.  They are worthy of some of our dialectic time!

 

Thoughts from the Rector ...

 

Some Good Borrowed Thoughts

  

The quotes below are from the Right Rev. Rob Wright, Bishop of Atlanta, to "THE Conference" at Camp Allen this past weekend.  It was a time of great nurturing, and several of our staff and Vestry were part of the 200 in attendance.  Bp. Wright was born

of biracial parents who placed him in an orphanage.  He opened by saying:  I am a commercial for God's grace.  [RV:  Am I?  Are you?  Our baptismal contract says that we will be with God's help.]

 

God put big in the whale, busy in the ant and annoying in teenagers.

 

The only thing interesting in religion is God.

 

God wants us always expecting something; we're always in Advent.

 

Quoting Jimmy Bartz (former Episcopal chaplain at UT): "God is wildly active outside the church."  

 

Quoting Bp. Tutu of South Africa:  "We are missionaries or we are nothing."

 

We have two passports: one for this world; one for the next.

 

Quoting Phyllis Tickle (famous author/lecturer on religious issues):  "The church holds a great rummage sale from time to time."

 

Our work is to discern, among competing priorities, what is expendable and what is precious.
