<blockquote class="wp-block-quote spi-pull">What we do need to change is our propensity for being reserved and hiding our light under a bushel.</blockquote>
Elsewhere in this issue, you'll find <a href="https://spirit.diowestmo.org/2017/03/dont-be-afraid-to-be-people-of-love-presiding-bishop-tells-pittsburgh-revival/">an account of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry's recent Revival in Pittsburgh</a>. The events being held in West Missouri on Saturday and Sunday, May 6 & 7 will be somewhat different to those in Pittsburgh, and we are calling our events 'Awakenings'. There are similarities, and these events are tied back to Bob's example, as we found out at February's Evangelism Workshops. At the workshops we were shown that Episcopalians can be evangelists, and really we don't need to change much to do so. We just need to carry on the work we do in the community, and the quiet works of help and love we give to friends, family and those we encounter along the way. What we do need to change is our propensity for being reserved and hiding our light under a bushel.
