Church Planters: The Rev. Robert Cunningham, The Rev. April Murrie

Church of the Good Shepherd embodies and uniquely expresses the gifts of the Anglican tradition in Charlottesville. This church is grounded in the Trinity - Father, Son, and Spirit - as host and provider (Ps. 23), as our standard for justice and love of the world (Ez. 34), with Jesus as our Good Shepherd, who leads us on a pilgrimage, whose voice we know and follow (Jn.10) as we participate with him and others in ministry, toward the horizon of dwelling together in his house forever.

As I’ve grown more conscious of this, I’ve become particularly aware that my hands are not just mine. “You” — which includes our hands — “are not your own,” as Paul tells us. They are, mysteriously, marked as conveyors of God’s touch, if you will. And as such, they are set apart not only to hold “weighty” things but also participate in the “hands on” ministry of Jesus.
