My grandfather died during the 1930’s when my father was just a teenager.  With both men now gone their memory has become even more important to me.  Being in my mid-50’s I want to go deeper,  to learn more about my family’s past, their hopes, their disappointments, their dreams.  As it turns out, my grandfather, James Christopher Williams. was a clipper ship captain plying the waters between the Caribbean Sea and the northern Atlantic Ocean more especially New York City.  Eventually ships under sail gave way to steam or a combination of the two.  Today many modern naval ships are nuclear-powered.  When it comes to ocean-going travel what an evolution we have seen.  And given the joys and challenges of the Internet websites are no different!

 

If you are looking for a church home, if you want to deepen your understanding of the spiritual life, if you want to see Mission and Ministry at work, we at St. Teresa's hope that this Website with its development and maintenance will serve as an important bridge to our community of faith as well as provide greater linkage with The Episcopal Church at http://www.episcopalchurch.org; the Diocese of Atlanta at www.episcopalatlanta.org; and Anglican Church throughout the world www.aco.org.And as we journey together may the Holy Spirit empower your sails in such a way that the love of God becomes more tangible.  May the love of our Lord Jesus Christ be like that steam which moved ships of long ago providing a power and dynamism that is not only life-changing but also points the way to our final port of calling, God the Father.
