This week I gathered with a handful of other clergy from across the Northeast to reflect on what it means to be spiritual leaders. Talk about divine timing. Early on in the retreat, they asked us the big question. “Why?” “Why are you a spiritual leader?” There were as many answers to this question as there were people in the room, but the first answer a colleague shared has remained with me this week. Her answer? “Because another world is possible.” Siblings in Christ, I don’t presume to know why you have chosen to gather here at St John’s Episcopal Church in Montclair, New Jersey, this morning, or any other time. But I hope and pray that when you leave these doors, you do so knowing that another world is possible, and it depends on us.
