Is Ascension called to be:<br /><br /> 1) A church that serves primarily Episcopalians looking for a church home and connection to religion<br /><strong>OR</strong><br />2) A missional church that is <strong>both</strong> grounded in truth, image, symbol, liturgy <strong>and</strong> inviting to the culture or today?"<br /><br />I'd like to hear your reflections on these to points of reference. Does either cause issue? Do you have a gut reaction to one over the other? Let us know!<br /><br />God's peace to you always,<br />Fr.
