Practice the selfless, self-giving way of the cross

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…

Practice the selfless, self-giving way of the cross.

The way of “cruciform love”—Jesus’ act of unselfish, sacrificial, self-offering love, or losing one’s life in order to gain it— is our way to authentic life.

In all things, we seek to be loving, liberating and life-giving—just like the God who formed all things in love; liberates us all from prisons of mind, body and spirit; and gives life so we can participate in the resurrection and healing of God’s world.

TRY THIS: At day’s end, with genuine curiosity and zero judgment, ask: When did I see myself or others being loving, liberating or life-giving today? Where do I wish I’d seen or practiced Jesus’ Way?
