Vision Statements
Compiled from the Appreciative Inquiry Exercise
- Being part of an extended family with “brothers and sisters” who care about you.
- Participating in the life of a community where your concerns make a difference.
- Discovering companions with whom you can work to help bring to the world a greater measure of social, economic, and environmental justice.
- Increasing your capacity for open and honest relationships with other people.
- Approaching God directly, while growing and learning through traditional and alternative worship and prayer.
- Having a place to celebrate the joys of birth, marriage, family and success as well as to find support in the sorrows of death, divorce, and failure.
- Finding your roots in the rituals and traditions of an Episcopalian-Anglican faith with a rich history.
- Growing in awareness of your personal values and your potential as a human being.
