Meet the new bishop of the Denver Episcopal Area
of The United
Methodist Church
From her web site:
Each generation is called to carry the gospel
to a new generation. I believe the United Methodist Church
is poised to engage a multi-cultural,
globally conscious generation in the West with the good news
of Jesus Christ. Our
Wesleyan heritage offers rich resources for this mission in our
region:
- enthusiasm for sharing the grace and love of Jesus Christ
- passion for
ministry with poor and marginalized people
- love of knowledge
and of the natural world
- confidence in the power of the Holy
Spirit to transform and make new
- a “catholic spirit” of fellowship
with anyone whose “heart
is as my heart”
- educated clergy in partnership with empowered laity
- a lay movement of
small groups, where seekers become disciples
Since my youth God has called and empowered me for ministries of renewal
and oversight. I continue to say “yes” to God’s claim
on my life.
I love the church that nurtured and ordained me. I yearn and work for
the church God calls us to become.
