Discern and Live a Rule of Life

Presiding Bishop Michael Curry

Come and see. We are becoming a church that looks and acts like Jesus.

We are becoming a new and re-formed church, the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement—

What does this re-formation look like in practice? We’ll know we’re moving forward when we…

Unite around the practice of a rule of life in small gathered communities.

These kinds of groups—small circles of people who support each other in following Jesus with intention and accountability—are necessary for cultivating Christ-centered life.

We are becoming a church that looks and acts like Jesus. Transformation and re-formation like this requires intention, wisdom, community, and the Spirit. In other words, it takes a Rule of Life.

A Rule of Life is not just a list of rules. It’s an intentional commitment to a set of habits and practices that provide guidance, rhythm, and inspiration for living a beautiful, holy life. Especially today, our identity as church doesn’t come from sharing the same space; we are church because we share an intentional commitment to a particular Jesus-centered way of life.
