Center on Jesus Christ

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…

Center on Jesus Christ.

His teachings, his example, his Spirit, his way of love and his way of life are the key to having loving, liberating and life-giving relationships with God, our neighbors, all of creation, and ourselves.

Together, we follow Jesus as we love God with our whole heart, soul and mind and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:36-40) and restore each other and all of creation to unity with God in Christ (BCP, p. 855).

Jesus launched this movement (the Jesus Movement) when he welcomed the first disciples to follow his loving, liberating, life-giving Way. Today, we participate in his movement with our whole lives: our prayer, worship, teaching, preaching, gathering, healing, action, family, work, play and rest.

TRY THIS: Begin your day by asking: How could my words, actions and heart reflect the loving, liberating, life-giving way of Jesus? Ask God to help you, especially at decision points.
