ON THE COVER:  Chapel of the Transfiguration, Jackson, Wyo.

From Inside ML: As we continue to explore the question “What is church?” it is important to listen for the many voices offering perspective. Bishop Matthew Clark of Rochester, N.Y., in speaking of pastoral challenges, asserts that it is crucial that we not mistake our own life experience for the fullness of truth. He stresses that it is necessary to be always open to the possibilities offered by a broader reality than that presented by what seems comfortable and right in our own lives.(More)
