TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Around the turn of the fourth century, Augustine, still fairly fresh from the baptismal wa-ters in Milan, was elected bishop of a tiny city in North Africa, Hippo. He told his people, "While I am fright-ened by what I am for you, then I am consoled by what I

am with you. For you I am a bishop, with you I am a Christian." He had his priorities right, and also knew that everyone coming from the water arises with a ministry, a specific role, in bringing about God's kingdom. If we were asked to purge English of Greek vocabulary, we would gain an insight into key ministries in our church. Bishop, from the Greek episkopos, would become simply "overseer;" priest, from the Greek presybter, would become "elder;" and deacon, from the Greek dia-konos, would be "servant." Each title stands in relation-ship to all the baptized, serving the community, helping it to be the Body of Christ. In our deepest tradition, each of these ordained ministries is attuned to help us become our best selves, to hunger and thirst for the coming of God's kingdom. The goal for each one of us is to be able to rec-ognize the presence of Christ in worship and in service. Although only some of us are ordained to ministry, each of us is called to ministry. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
