We have so much in common, and yet we love our differences. We share a common theological heritage, but we don’t always agree with each other. We are ministers and missionaries, hopers and dreamers, thinkers and feelers, friends and companions. We care deeply and laugh loudly. We desire the best for each other, our congregations, and the movement which we call home. We live in different parts of the world, but we yearn for the annual pilgrimage. We are growing and being grown, shaping and being shaped, loving and being loved.
But most of all, we belong.
