WHAT’S-HIS-FACE
Katharine Jefferts Schori has an Easter message up. You’ll be pleased to know that the Presiding Bishop has some good Easter news for a change:
As we began Lent, I asked you to think about the Millennium Development Goals and our work in Lent as a re-focusing of our lives. I’m delighted to be able to tell you that the U.N. report this last year has shown some significant accomplishment in a couple of those goals, particularly in terms of lowering the rates of the worst poverty, and in achieving better access to drinking water and better access to primary education. We actually might reach those goals by 2015. That leaves a number of other goals as well as what moves beyond the goals to full access for all people to abundant life.
Yay! We finally have something to celebrate during what is always a really grim time of year. I’m not sure exactly what this means.
In this Easter season I would encourage you to look at where you are finding new life and resurrection, where life abundant and love incarnate are springing up in your lives and the lives of your communities. There is indeed greenness, whatever the season.
See if you can guess what isn’t here. At all. Here’s a hint: it’s a short, personal name and it begins with a J. In the English language, at any rate.
