Stewardship Corner—Humility

“Thank you” is the best prayer that anyone could say. I

say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme grati-

tude, humility, understanding.

—Alice Walker

Stewardship is the spiritual discipline of generously giving of all that we have and all that we are. Each month we con-sider a different aspect of our response to God’s gifts.

Evangelical to EpiscopalianDid you grow up or live in the Evangelical world? Do you find that it informs or complicates your experience in the Episcopal Church? Do you struggle with reconciling the two? Evangelical to Episcopalian is a safe place to explore and discuss how our Evan-gelical formation affects our spiritual journey today. We will start by reading Rachel Held Evans’ book, Faith Unraveled, and begin the discussion in January. We will then continue exploring how to sift through our Evangelicalism to have a richer experience with God, the Scriptures, and our new spiritual home. For details about the first meeting, contact Ellen Andrews at eandrews@trinitywall-street.org.
