RECTOR'S MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
As I return from the burial of my uncle Lewis, I reflect on liminal spaces. These are spaces in our lives that involve significant transitions. As we live our lives in Naples, we see much change. People move here, they leave here. People start new lives here. So, liminal spaces develop all the time. This is particularly salient with occasions such as the death of a loved one, a move, a health status change, a job change, a relationship development, etc. Whatever the case, our home in Naples is one that brims with liminal spaces.
When we are in a liminal space, we loosen the ways in which we experience our world, and we start seeing the world in new ways. We have these spaces throughout our lives, and we have two choices in responding: avoid thinking about and dealing with the change or lean into the change and see what’s there. As your pastor, I encourage you to lean into the change with a lens for the holy. See where the Spirit pushes you. See what kind of new person you can be. See how God equips you differently for this time in your life and our life together.
Peace and grace,
Fr. Jonathan
