Christ Church Parish isa very small portion of the "experiment in Christianity" that has been triedin many cultures and places during the last 2000 years.
We are very consciousof our roots in Judaismand its trajectory toward monotheism, that is, the realizationof the oneness of humanity.
Jesus Christ is for usthe lens through which the very nature of God can be glimpsed, the One who came to destroy the notion of "our enemies". Despite the upheavalsthat Christianity has been undergoing, we dare to believe thatthe Holy Spirit is still speakingin the hearts and minds of Christians who are alert toboth the theological traditionand world events.
The ecological crisis,the persistence of racism, and the normalization of greed call us to vigilanceand to a life in community that sustains our hopes and our actions.
We want to be a place of restfor weary souls,a safe haven for wounded humanity, a human placewhereall are welcome and none is rejected, a circle of friendshipwhere life flows abundant.
