What I carry
From Deborah, my mother
Culture of honour
Treat every person as worth honouring from the start. People rise to the honour they're given.
From Deborah, my mother
Love is the shortest way
When I don't know the next move, I look for the most loving one. It is usually the most direct one too.
From Jason Jensen, Glass Canvas
Speak the unspoken
There is freedom in leaving nothing in the dark. When we give each other, and the people we serve, permission to say the hard thing out loud, walls come down. A healthy team outperforms a smart one, every time. We try to be the kind of people others feel safe being honest around.
Practised at Glass Canvas
Co-innovation is the way
The best idea winning isn't enough. What we're after is something that couldn't have been made alone: the thing that emerges when we bring our combined knowledge, our distinct gifts, and our attentiveness to how God is moving into the same room. We come alongside the people we serve, not in front of them.
Across many traditions
Ecumenical inheritance
We believe there is far more that unites us than divides us. While we come from different historic Christian traditions and may hold differing theological, liturgical, and practical convictions, we are united in our shared faith in Jesus Christ and devotion to His Kingdom. We choose to approach one another with humility, honour, and charity, seeking to preserve the unity of the Spirit while remaining faithful to our convictions.
From Pete White, Vocatio
Do what love invites. Refuse what fear demands.
A test for every decision. Fear is loud and urgent. Love asks, and leaves room to answer.
From Kierkegaard, via Pete White
Purity of heart is to will one thing
A divided heart wears you out. Pick the one thing worth wanting and let everything else line up behind it.
