"I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally successful man. And I've failed much more than I've succeeded.
And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better." - Calvin Trager

    The Anglican Cathedral in Nairobi. Oh ... and hello all of you who have migrated this way from http://titusonenine.classicalanglican.net/ I know the link provided only gets you this picture of the Anglican Cathedral in Nairobi, but if you go to the full blog you'll get the tale of our 10-day trip to be with the Anglican Christians in the Diocese of Lui in Southern Sudan (and lots more pictures) ... also some news of a wonderful woman -- Jennifer Coil -- who is working through the Anglican Diocese of Mpwapwa in Tanzania to care for AIDS orphans. Lots of great stuff. Thanks for surfing on over ... Mike+

    Global Reconciliation
    EGR is an organization resourcing a grassroots movement of spiritual transformation in the Episcopal Church to end extreme poverty on this planet.

    The structure for this movement is the Millennium Development Goals -- 8 goals committed to by all member nations of the UN and a unique partnership of governments and civil society to:

    *End extreme poverty
    *Achieve universal
    primary education
    *Promote gender equalty
    *Improve maternal health
    *Reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS
    *Promote environmental sustainability
    *Build a global partnership for development

    EGR resources and connects the church to embrace what one person, one congregation, one diocese and one church can do to make this mission of global reconciliation happen.

    Want to find out more ... check our our website at www.e4gr.org.

    "Christ's example is being demeaned by the church if they ignore the new leprosy, which is AIDS. The church is the sleeping giant here. If it wakes up to what's really going on in the rest of the world, it has a real role to play. If it doesn't, it will be irrelevant."
    - Bono
