None of this "invitation into a deeper conversation," or "doing a new thing" crap - a New Orleans church shows the true meaning of Christian Mission:
A team of New Orleans Episcopal volunteers is scheduled to leave New Orleans this morning to help flood victims in Quincy, Ill., a community that reached out to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
The four-day trip by the Rev. Jerry Kramer and seven companions from the Free Church of the Annunciation will deliver money and personal cleaning supplies into the Midwestern flood zone, said Duane Nettles, pastoral associate at the church.
Fr. Jerry Kramer is both a friend and an orthodox Anglican. His church, Free Church of the Annunciation, was flooded and badly damaged during Katrina. But hrough the efforts of Fr. Jerry, his congregation, and the many missionaries who came down, Annunciation has come back - and is a beacon of hope in the Boradmoor neighborhood. If you want to help Fr. Jerry and his church, go here.
