EXPLORING COLLABORATIVE MINISTRIES
Posted February 2nd, 2012
St. George's has become a leader in a movement to get beyond sustainability and break-through to doing Christ's mission in a new way. We've been exploring the work of collaborative ministries, together with our sibling congregations in southern Maryland. This new movement has caught the attention of the Episcopal Church and our Diocese of Washington. The Rev'd Greg Syler, rector of St. George's, writes, "Collaboration is about breaking through to the new. It isn't about keeping up the structures we've inherited. At its core, what's really happening in the Episcopal Church is that we're witnessing the hand of God transforming the residues of conventional Christianity into a robust, mission-minded fellowship who gathers in the name of His Son, Jesus."
