Play BIG. Live Authentically.
There is no benefit to us or to the world if we play into the limitations of social stereotypes of who we should be. There is no benefit to us or to the world if we direct our energy reacting to our critics or trying to prove them wrong. To do so would be to play small and not live authentically, denying ourselves our birthright to let our talents to flourish. So let’s choose to play big.
Lifting the veil. Living in love.
The transfiguration is the literal depiction of how love, personified in Jesus, rises above the limitations of the law, and removes the veil of political correctness, racial tolerance, indifference, race, religion, gender, and all the other things that influence the way we view and treat ‘other’ people.

TRUTH, DECEPTION & CHOICE
The shameful history of racism against Black people in the Worldwide Anglican Church is well documented. The Anglican Church was part of the oppressive colonial government institutions and made no attempt prior to the early to mid-19th century to declare abhorrence of slavery and racial discrimination. It was only in 2006, less than 20 years ago, that the Anglican Church through the Archbishop of Canterbury finally faced the truth of its history and issued a formal apology for the role it played in slavery and the consequent oppression of Black people in the Caribbean.

Evolution
It is through life’s events – whether times of crisis or calm –
that we somehow find new directions and rediscover the purpose of our life’s journey.
It takes courage to confront the fears that prevent us from living purposefully and authentically.
Choose courage over fear. It’s well worth it.
