The Way of Love. The Way of Jesus. The Way of discipleship.

The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, The Most Rev. Michael Curry, has called the Church to walk the Way of Love: to Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest.

Watch the videos produced by St Mark’s below on each of the seven practices.

Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry, introduces the seven constituent parts of the Way of Love

000   the way of love

001   turning our lives in a Godward direction

Where is your life headed? Where is your day headed? Do you need to make a turn?

002   learning who this God is and what God is all about

We can make prayer out to be a complicated and awkward thing. But, it’s really just talking to God, or listening for God, or even just intentionally being with God.

003   talking to God, listening for God, being with God

In every relationship that matters to us, we seek to know more about the other person. The same is true with our relationship with God. How do we learn? Where do we go to learn? Are we doing our job to be the best disciples we can be?

004   joining our voices with the song of the angels

We can come to think that “worship begins at 8 o’clock” or “10 o’clock.” But, no. Worship is always going on. It’s always been going on. It always will go on. And we get to plug into that worship and join in the chorus.

006   following in the footsteps of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus

Jesus breaks down the barriers which separate us when he hangs out with prostitutes and tax collectors, Pharisees and Roman soldiers, lepers and women. And we are called to go and break down those same barriers.

007 He makes me lie down

After creating the universe and everything in it, God rests. And then God commands us to rest. It can challenge our common notions of worth (which are based on success and achievement), but if we rest not only will we be living the way God intends, but we will actually be better, healthier, and more productive people.
