The word “formation” is more than just Episcopal jargon for Sunday School or Christian Education. When we come together in community to study, pray, and discuss the ways of God, new ideas and others’ perspectives shape and reshape us. Sometimes we get a glimpse of God and of who God calls us to be.
Formation suggests development, and even a sense of structure … but structure, like a cloud formation, evolves, grows, and shifts. Come be formed and re-formed, and possibly even made new.
