Letter from Bishop Gwinn
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Grace and Peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! I trust you are rejoicing in this blessed season of expectancy.
The news that the National Bureau of Economic Research announced on Monday that the United States has been in an economic recession for about a year comes as no surprise to us. We have seen and felt the pain that the current economic conditions have had on every aspect of our lives. The only reassurance in which we can genuinely trust is found in the same words we turn to for reassurance throughout all other times in our lives, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.” (Ps. 46:1-2) It is in times of great stress and uncertainty that we need to center our thoughts around the One that is in charge and the One who has all things under control.
