Ministry

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”   -E. B. White




"I'm not really here to keep you from freaking out.  I'm here to be with you while you freak out, or grieve or laugh or suffer or sing.  It is a ministry of presence.  It is showing up with a loving heart.”  
―Kate Braestrup





“My call to the ministry was not a miraculous or supernatural something. On the contrary it was an inner urge calling me to serve humanity.” -The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
