No Title
No statement says all that could be said.
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confession brings perfection.
No pastoral visit brings wholeness.
No program accomplishes the church’s mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

This is what we are about.
We plant seeds that will one day grow.
We water seeds that are already planted,
knowing that they old future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide the yeast that produces effects beyond our capabilities.

We cannot do everything,
and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.
This enables us to do something and do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning,
a step along the way,
an opportunity for God’s grace to enter and do the rest.

We may never see the end results.
But that is the difference
between the master builder and the worker.
We are the workers, not master builders;
ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.

Amen.

Miguel de Clerck
Professionally, my work at Medecins sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) has always included the imperative to evaluate my jobs through the criteria of the mobilized, or the served population; the omnipresence of ethical dilemmas; and the often completely unfamiliar environment in which I work. It has opened my eyes to the mechanisms that lead to either major societal changes, or the absence of change.
