Dear Episcopalians:
An invitation from Joyce and Gene Dery to attend historical Episcopal Church of the Messiah in Santa Ana on January 6, Feast of the Epiphany was met with delight for it had been over forty years since last visit. My day starts at 3 a.m. with bended knee and beginning extensive prayers; continues with mile plus walk to Catholic mass/communion extending intermittently throughout day.
It was in the early 70s that I began kith & kin pilgrimage of visiting a different church each week. Certain ones `stood out’ for `walking the talk’.
Episcopal Church of the Messiah was just as I remembered: warm, friendly, neighborly affection. I was so delighted that last week, January 27, rode bike to St. Thomas of Canterbury in Long Beach. Once again, Episcopalians greeted newcomer with congenial hospitality.
Yesterday I called Dial-A-Lift to attend Saint Luke’s in Long Beach.
There are superlatives needed to describe congregations that on a scale from 1 to 10 hit a 20! Sermons from humble, charismatic, and enlightened ministers need to be media showcased. The sacred uplifting music played and sung caresses the spirit enduring like holy incense. Congregants role model the best of what it is all about: spiritual and democratic inclusiveness. Kudos St. Luke’s: Tony, Cara, Christian, Scott+
I am victim of horrific assault: 42 stab wounds. I truly believe God’s grace, Holy Spirit, my Lord Jesus blessed me with miracle renewed life to continue pilgrimage of meeting, praying for renaissance `kith & kin’ who personify: loving God with whole mind, heart, soul/loving neighbor as self.
Episcopalians: I SALUTE THE LIGHT WITHIN YOU+
May God Bless You/Yours Always+
Respectfully,
