Christ Church CONVERSATIONS Christ Episcopal Church in Columbia, MD

"Being Christian is like riding a bicycle - the day you stop moving forward is the day you fall."

This week, Father Manny reminds us that there is never a time when you should convince yourself that you have arrived spiritually and therefore don’t need any more growth.

"What really excited me was the belief that each of us can be a joyful gift to others."

This week, Father Manny expresses to us that in Christ Church's Spiritual Life Theme for 2024 - Be a Joyful Gift to Others - the focus isn’t so much on the gift, but whether it is a joyful giving of the gift... a joyful giving of the self.

This Lenten season, Christ Church was honored to host Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton, the 14th Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland. He presented his perspective on our 2024 Spiritual Life Theme - Be a Joyful Gift to Others; before that, he took time to sit down with parishioner Ann Barnes in Old Brick for a conversation on several relevant topics impacting the church, the diocese, and the world today. We now present that entire 30-minute conversation here for you, and hope that you enjoy.

"This Lenten season, set your life on fire. Provide others with the blessing of fanning the flames that burn within you. Deny yourself the lure of seeing others as not being worthy of a bowl of soup. Challenge yourself to live right, live thankfully, and see your neighbor as the neighbor that they are."

This week, Father Manny reminds us of the importance of self-denial during Lent, how it can remind us to make the necessary changes within ourselves, and how that can help us view others in a better light.

"The good news is that God doesn’t give up on us, for God is with us as we embrace all the changes that come our way."

The season of Lent gives us a perfect opportunity to embrace change in our lives, but to do so we have to be intentional, focused, and devoted.

"The magic in you isn’t about trickery - it is about authenticity, it is about the ability to see all the possibilities that are available to you and dreaming to make them happen. The magic in you is the gift of bringing the dream of possibilities to life."


This week, Father Manny wonders that the magician in each of us can turn things around, bring to life our dreams and the transformation we all need to make the world a better place.
