La Iglesia Episcopal es donde encontré mi relación con Jesús hace unos 30 años, y desde entonces he ido aprendiendo a vivir sin temor, segura en el conocimiento del amor de Dios. Es una lección que me enseña a diario a través de los sacramentos y las historias de nuestra fe, la belleza de nuestra tradición litúrgica, la profundidad de nuestro compromiso con la justicia y el abrazo cariñoso de la comunidad cristiana. Vengo ante Dios como una obispa, pero también como una esposa, madre, corredora recreativa y alguien que se alegra horneando y festejando con amigos. En nuestra diócesis, aspiramos acercarnos con todo nuestro ser a Dios para sustento, inspiración y curación. Si una fe como este le llama, por favor pase algún tiempo en nuestro sitio, visite nuestras iglesias y considere unirse a nosotros.
En la paz de Cristo,
+Jennifer

Bishop Jennifer is from New York, and is a graduate of Smith College, Cornell University and the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. She has expertise in historic preservation and a passion for issues including gun violence, social justice, and racial and class reconciliation. She also maintains a focus in guiding others through spiritual direction.
A defining experience of her ministry came when she found herself near the World Trade Center the morning of September 11, 2001. In the midst of a fearful situation, her own faith and that of others who sought shelter alongside her gave her a renewed perspective of faith vanquishing fear. “The Episcopal Church teaches me that the world is filled with incredible beauty and unspeakable pain and that God is deeply in the midst of it all loving us fiercely,” she says.
