"I Don't Think the Church Gets Everything Right"

From the Episcopal News Service: 

Paige Blair, 35, speaks frankly in a new 30-second ad inviting television viewers to visit the Episcopal Church.

"We live in very complicated times. There's war, poverty, famine ... We build more jails and fewer schools and there's never enough money to pay the bills.

"For me, church provides some solace and perspectives that help me understand, reconcile and forgive.

"I don't think church gets everything right," Blair says, over scenes of her walking her dogs and gardening. "We are only human."

Then, in a surprise "reveal" statement, Blair continues: "I go because if I didn't, people would ask me why. After all, I am the priest of this parish."

On-screen text then identifies Blair as rector of St. George's Church in York Harbor, Maine -- a post she has held since 2000.
