Article:‘Media Doesn’t Cover Good Things We Do’

Worth a mention:

“The hot-button issues are a part of our mission, but only a part. Human sexuality is part of being a creature of God but it’s only a part. The media doesn’t want to cover the good things we do. Episcopal Relief and Development is working in 42 countries and touching 2.5 million lives every year. That does not make the news.”

“As Anglicans we are supposed to be able to live in tension......We’re not good at it. It’s a hard place to live, but it’s a life-giving place to live. Dealing with the conflict in the midst of it in a gracious way, I think, is the way to go through it.”
