About Bishop Steven Charleston

 Former Bishop of Alaska, and former Dean of Episcopal Divinity School, in New York City, Bishop Charleston is currently serving as the interim Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in Oklahoma City, OK.  (Which is kind of neat for a member of the Choctaw Nation.)

Our Prayer of the Day

       I very much appreciate the wise counsel of Bishop Steven 

Charleston this morning: "Beware of any generation that 


seems


 lost without a leader. That search may become a dangerous 


thing to do. A society that is fearful, money worried, anxious 


for


 order, hungry for law, a nation of wall builders, accustomed 


to war, watching enemies without and enemies within, afraid


 its glory will fade. Longing for the strong man grows, ever so


 quietly, while people look the other way.




       Help us, O God, not to flirt with forces so ancient and so 


evil, but rather to put our trust in you, that justice never 


bends to fear nor freedom to the false gods of power."
