• W275590130 abstract "In the Episcopal Church a mission is a congregation which is not financially self-supporting. Perhaps it serves a poor or underpopulated area, or perhaps it plans to bring its revenues up to standard. Either way, its status is commonly understood as second-class. But some recent writing on the church, which J. Barrington Bates introduces elsewhere in this issue, places the mission much closer to the heart of Anglican life than this picture recognizes. It sees the mission congregation as a critical part of the church's evangelistic strategy. It is the place where diversity, creativity, innovation, and renewal are most likely to enter the church's bloodstream. In January 1999 a retired priest in the diocese of Colorado began a mission congregation in Lafayette, a city of 26,000 in the high plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Like the many other little cities, unincorporated towns, and developments haphazardly punctuating this region, Lafayette has come to function as a suburb of Denver and Boulder, welcoming those who cannot afford to live where they work. Lafayette is a surprisingly complex city for its size. It is multicultural (17 percent Latino), multilingual, and socioeconomically diverse. Although increasingly affluent and expanding on the outskirts, it has problems of poverty at the core, and a downtown that requires more renewal than it has so far received. A recent city-funded study gives evidence of discrimination against Latinos by local police, banks, and retailers. For decades Lafayette has been struggling to define a civic identity, and it seems unsure whether its past is a heritage to be celebrated or a period of darkness better forgotten. The mission congregation, which is called Santiago Episcopal Church, moved in late 2005 into a downtown storefront, not far from county social service offices. In many ways it is what the theorists of the church advocate: it is intentionally sensitive to its local culture, diverse, missional, innovative, visionary, imaginative, energetic. But these strengths have created their own problems. Diversity, even when seen as desirable, can cause friction. A spectrum of exciting visions can generate frustration in the face of limited resources. Fluid norms and changing strategies can unsettle people. Some at Santiago look forward to a day when the emerging will have come to an end. The complexity of Lafayette, this mission field for Santiago Church, is the product of a history of boom-and-bust economic cycles, of diverse population movements, of dramatic contrasts between wealth and poverty, and of a curious interplay of paternalism and populism. The best approach to this history is through the founder of the city, who was certainly its most influential figure. Mary Miller was one of the legions of dynamic women of earlier generations whom the Episcopal Church has largely forgotten. She was born Mary Foot in 1842 in Geneseo, New York, and was an Episcopalian from a very early age. After her father joined the 1849 rush to California and returned a year later with $10,000 in gold, her family moved to Michigan, and then to Iowa. There, when she was twenty years old, she married Lafayette Miller (1840-1878). Five months later they were joining an ox-team train of fifty wagons bound for Colorado. After they arrived they tried farming and ranching in Longmont for a short while. Then they ran a hotel and stage stop on the Denver-Cheyenne wagon route, but when the Denver Pacific Railway was completed, their business dried up. Next they bought 640 acres of land under the Homestead Act, and grew hay and raised dairy cattle and beef. Then they set up a butcher shop in Boulder. Then one day Lafayette Miller died of heat stroke, and the young widow and her six children moved back to the homestead. Meanwhile, coal, a crucial engine of the American economy, had been discovered nearby. Mary had a hunch that coal might be lurking under her land, and, sure enough, in 1884, a stunning fourteen-foot vein of coal was discovered there. …" @default.
