Last week I was struck by an article that I read on
Episcopal Café. The article is written by one of my friends from seminary, The
Rev. Sylvia Miller-Mutia who serves as Assistant Rector at St. Gregory of Nyssa
Episcopal Church in San Francisco.
In her article Sylvia talks about a cycle she calls copy…claim…create, a cycle
that she sees in ministry and throughout Jesus’ life. She describes these words
as:
Copy… like you’re playing a mirroring game, matching the movements of the person across from you…
Claim…like you’re taking what’s outside and drawing it into your own body, your own heart…
Create…like a seed planted inside you is flowering, and flowing out into the world.
I think this cycle is what we dream of for each and every person
we know, especially children and youth. I commend this article to you in its entirety.
