Living in the Way: Our Spirituality We are conformed to the image of Jesus as we follow him. The early Church reformed the Jewish year around the life of Jesus. Through our celebration of the Church Year, we walk with Christ through his arrival, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and eventual return. The Great Tradition provides us with a basic calendar of the Christian Year and disciplines that key our whole spiritual life to the life of Jesus. Reborn to Serve: Our Witness Christ established a Kingdom that will never end. We are reborn as citizens of his Kingdom. We live in the world as ambassadors of his Kingdom, representing the Lord. Our churches are outposts of God’s Kingdom where people get a foretaste of the new creation. The Great Tradition challenges us to live as witnesses representing Christ and his Kingdom.
