The Imago Dei Society. 'For the sake of our lives in Christ and for those who do not yet have a knowledge of God, we seek to be the Body of Christ with authenticity and integrity - all within our present social contexts of Post-Christendom, Postmodernism, and Post-Constantinianism. The way we deal with life, faith, and how it all fits together is how we become and carry the imago Dei (the image of God). We are within and work alongside the Diocese of Long Island, the Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Communion.'
