"We are on a rescue mission. That’s one way to think of our task as people of faith. We are out on stormy waters looking for other men and women who may be struggling. It does not matter their age, race or religion: it only matters that they are in need of help. That is why in this community we never try to convert anyone but extend a hand of welcome to everyone. The world has gotten too fractured for us to be concerned with our differences. We need to unite around what we hold in common: a longing for peace, a need for justice, a love that rescues us all."
--The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston. Native American/Indigenous Ministries of the Episcopal Church
