It’s crucial for churches to embrace the thought of its members who come from all walks of life and occupations. Many are paycheck-to-paycheck and do what they can to contribute with a mix of service and giving what they can financially. Every person has a responsibility to add to the life of the congregation. I consider myself a blue-collar Episcopalian and that is a concept I feel would be best explored. No matter what is in one’s bank account, what is in their hearts and souls matters most.

Assumption of economic privilege is an ongoing issue with The Episcopal Church. People at St. Luke’s Knoxville were constantly challenging the diocese to do better in this regard.

I believe the Episcopal Church can be a big tent place. Just need to get people who can make changes to hear people like me.
