One defining characteristic of my spiritual tradition is the sovereignty of God. That means that God is at work at all times, that He never slumbers or sleeps, and that there is no area of life over which we have more authority than He does. We also believe that God works in the world both with our cooperation and without it, and all too often, in spite of it. We muck things up. We believe we have all the answers when in reality we find ourselves asking the wrong questions. What keeps us honest is rubbing shoulders with others both near and far, in our tradition and outside of it. We're not a big "us versus them, Christianity versus the world" sort of people. Humanity is just "us." Should anyone wish to support these causes, they can make checks payable to the "Los Ranchos Presbytery" and write "East Africa Partnership" on the notation line. The address is Presbytery of Los Ranchos, P.O. Box 910, Anaheim CA 92815-0910.
