Outwitted
He drew a circle that shut me out --
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!
by Edwin Markham (1852-1940)

Reclaiming Jesus: Adult Forum Study in September
A few weeks ago, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and Rev. Jim Wallis of the Sojourners Community launched an initiative proclaiming that the faithful needed to reclaim Jesus from the political hijacking that is taking place by many who are using Jesus to validate any behavior that seems fitting. Of course this type of behavior is not new. God has been used to justify many indefensible behaviors throughout history and while this effort to Reclaim Jesus will not end that type of misrepresentation in the future, it is a chance for the faithful to make a clearer witness to Jesus and to acknowledge what is happening.
There is a course of study available that will help in the process of Reclaiming Jesus that can be found at the website for The Episcopal Church for those who are interested in seeing its content. The Adult Forum has decided to use this curriculum for its course of study beginning the first Sunday in September. Please take a look at the curriculum and make plans to join us for this important exploration as we think, pray and discuss ways that each of us can help to make the kingdom of God shine a little brighter in a world that can use the light.
