This week, Mother Liz shares a collect from the Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil (the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil) Book of Common Prayer as both a theme for this season of Pentecost and in invitation for us, in addition to the ancient creeds we say together, to each consider our own affirmations of faith: “What would you include? What difference might it make?”
