A Message from Rev. Canon Carla Ro ​b​binson

“In the name of the Beloved Son for the sake of the Beloved Community.”

I frequently use this phrase at the start of a sermon. For me the first part of this phrase means that it is my intent, prayer, and hope that Jesus is heard in the words I speak. For me, the last part of this phrase means that it is my intent, prayer, and hope that those who hear these words to be and build the beloved community in their own lives. As I step into the role of Canon for Multicultural Ministry and Community Transformation I bring this same intent, prayer, and hope.

In the ministry that we will do together, it is the Beloved Son, Jesus, who will speak to us and teach us. I will strive to help us hear Jesus in our praying and in our planning, in our conversations with God and in our conversations with each other.

In the ministry that we will do together, it is the Beloved Community that we will continue to build. I will strive to hold that vision in front of us even as we do the very difficult work to which that vision calls us…

Hear more from Rev. Canon Carla on July 16!
