' The Lord said to Abram:
"Leave your country, your people and your father’s household
And go to the land I will show you.
…all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
So Abram left, as the Lord had told him.+- '
These simple words come at an important turning point in the scriptures. The first eleven chapters of the Bible form a kind of pre-history, but now we are at the threshold of history itself. These words mark the beginning of the pilgrimage of God into intimacy with us, the story of a God who invites us into that same pilgrimage and so enters into the midst of our turmoil and suffering that God becomes one of us.
The flow of that story is sometimes easily apparent, at other times lies hidden in the mess and muck of human history. It is a story that finds its fulfillment in the mystery of the incarnation, in the wonder of the Word made flesh. Emanuel - God with us - not just for a few brief years two thousand years ago - but God with us still, today. Now, as then, God calls us to a journey into the heart of the indwelling, incarnate God.
We
welcome you as we journey together,
a pilgrim people being transformed from one degree of glory to the
next. May this site be an oasis along the way, a place where we can
more truly become a visible image of the invisible God, and where we
learn to see Christ in each other until every home becomes a church,
every child becomes the Christ-child, and all food and drink
become a
sacrament, a foretaste of the heavenly banquet.
