As we look forward to the day when people from every nation, tribe, and language gather around the throne and praise God, we also remember that, in the present, our brothers and sisters in Christ still face the sorrow and harm of racism and ethnic hatred. When racist speech, imagery, and assumptions enter public life, they directly contradict the Gospel we proclaim and the dignity God has given to every human person made in His image.

The Evangelical Episcopal Communion is a multi racial and multi cultural body, shaped by many peoples, languages, histories, and communities. We receive this diversity as a gift of God and a witness to the reconciling work of Jesus Christ, who breaks down walls of hostility and makes us one family in Him. Because of this calling, we recognize the pain and lasting damage caused by racism in all its forms, whether expressed through open violence, social exclusion, unjust systems, or casual contempt.

We therefore denounce and repudiate every expression of racial and ethnic hatred, including racist posts, videos, jokes, and slurs shared in person or online. We reject any ideology that treats one people as superior to another, and we renounce every attempt to divide Christ’s Church along racial or cultural lines. Such division is contrary to the will of God and undermines the Church’s mission to bear faithful witness to the Kingdom of God.

We call our clergy and laity to renewed commitment in word and deed. We will listen with humility to those who suffer, speak truthfully and courageously when racism is present, pursue education that leads to repentance and wisdom, and cultivate relationships that reflect the hospitality of Christ. We will encourage congregations to practice just and compassionate discipleship in their communities, to protect the vulnerable, and to model a shared life marked by honor, patience, and peace.

Above all, we commit ourselves to prayer, repentance, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord grant us clean hearts, truthful speech, and steadfast love, so that our Communion may more fully embody the reconciling Gospel we preach and the unity for which Christ prayed.

This year's theme is "Three Streams, One Mission." Our speakers and workshops will focus on how we can live out missionally the three streams of our movement (scripture, sacrament, spirit-filled).

Also, we encourage you to come if you can. We value relationships and want to have every clergy that is part of Missio Mosaic to participate. Please remember, if you are ordained or a chaplain, it is part of your requirements for active participation throughout the year. If you have missed our Zoom gatherings or other events, this is a great way to connect.

If you are a chaplain and are in need of a denominational letter for travel authorization, please email [email protected].

We hope to see you in Middleton, Massachusetts in April!

Three streams, one mission. Keynote speaker is Dr. Henry Roberts.

“But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace.” Micah‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬-‭5‬a

This is the last night of advent. We are here to reflect and celebrate the first advent of God coming to make the world and his people into what and who he created them to be. Throughout advent we intentionally take a step back to reflect on hope, peace, joy, and love. These reflections are bittersweet because of the reality of this world. We long for hope, peace, joy, and love because it can be too difficult to find these things, yet our souls have a longing for each of them. Our souls have a longing for them because they are attributes of God, whom we were created in his image but because of the multitudes of sin in our world these ideas and attributes are lacking to the point of being a burden. Without the work of the Creator, there is no fixing the chaos that afflicts each of us. But over 2000 years ago, the remedy for our angst, affliction, and turmoil was given. Not in the wholesale wiping away of desperation, sin, and evil with an army of angels or in a snap of the Lord’s fingers but in the most unique and unassuming way. God, in his wisdom sent himself, in the form of his son, to come and rescue his people. Even then, it wasn’t through human military might but in the form of a fragile, helpless baby.

It was in the dark, silent stillness of the night that this prophesy came to fruition. What was seemingly a typical birth although Jesus being born in a manger is certainly typical, the crux of humanity shifted. And it wasn’t just this prophesy that was fulfilled but so many coursing millennia all the way back to the first prophecy in the garden of Eden when God told Adam and Eve that there will be one who comes from who womb that will crush the Evil One’s head. On this night the dark and silent sky erupted with the brilliant light of a multitude of angels. The silence broken by the screams of Mary while she was in labor and the angles singing along with her, not in pain but in an unquenchable joy as they declared “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased.” In this small town, in the most unassuming place possible the Son of God was born. The ruler of God’s people. The one who would die for the sins of the world.

This is our hope. And not some superficial hope that would be better defined as optimism but a hope that is cemented in who this Christ child is. A hope that can tell the truth about the reality of the world and refuses despair. Hope that is clarified through suffering and is anchored in eternity. This hope requires trust and deepens into lament, prayer and perseverance. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we must also remember that Jesus did come to die but there is a difference in dying and death. We all will die, but for those of us whose hope is in this baby, we will never experience death. Because this child who came to stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord eradicated death, which is a far greater gift than any we could hope for. This is the security that Micah prophesized about. An eternal security and eternal peace. From the ends of the earth, peace that passes our understanding but any human comprehension. The type of peace we dream of is the smallest sliver of what peace and shalom actually are.

So celebrate tonight, and celebrate tomorrow, and celebrate all of Christmas season until epiphany, but celebrate the hope in our savior who is the lamb of God who has come to take away the sins of the world and prepare a place for us where death can’t afflict us and where all of our tears will be wiped away. A place where love abounds, peace is constant, and joy is eternal. And tonight, sing. Sing with the intensity of the angels who were announcing Christ. We sing with real hope, but they were singing not with hope but with a truth that shattered the reality of history and eternity. So, let this hope we sing about, and hear sermons about be your eternal reality that cannot be taken away from yo

Some wisdom on seeking wisdom for life from Proverbs 1:32-33:

32 Fools will die because they refuse to listen;
they will be destroyed because they do not care.
33 But those who listen to me (wisdom) will live in safety
and be at peace, without fear of injury.

Our Story

Missio Mosaic was birthed out of the apostolic ministry of Canal Street Church: A Mosaic Community. While still a young church replant, Canal Street has a legacy dating back to 1843. Dr. Page Brooks replanted the church with the vision to send out other churches and ministries across the metro area of New Orleans. Within the first 9 years of ministry, Canal Street sent out or partnered with 8 church plants. In 2012 a non-profit named The Restoration Initiative was birthed to focus on Gospel-centered community development.

Some of those church plants and replants continued to work closely together. Over time, the ministries and the church plants realized they could do more together than separately, especially in the urban area. The Missio Mosaic was thus born to give a name to the movement of what God was already doing among these churches and ministries.

Our ministry is very much informed by our own city context, New Orleans. New Orleans has been called a large city made up of smaller cities. Each neighborhood is distinct in its own character, people, and restaurants. The same is true of many urban areas across the world. Our passion is to see neighborhood-focused churches that, while small, can do more together through coordinated ministry, shared resources, accountability and encouragement, and shared values and DNA.

We are driven by the Celtic missionary spirit of seeing each church as a “monastic outpost” in the middle of the culture through the models of missionary societies or religious orders. Each pastor, church, and individual lives out their vocation (or calling) in the middle of the busy city to share the Gospel in tangible ways while seeking to shape culture for Christ. While we live in the world, we are not of the world, and do not shrink back from the increasing secularization. Instead, we joyfully embrace the complexities of urban, multi-cultural life drawing from ancient and contemporary models of ministry through the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
