This ethnographic study explored the use of visual media in defining congregational identity and call in a small urban Episcopal congregation. Eleven study participants photographed common parish events to communicate self-selected themes. These elements were grounded in everyday life, conveying the integration of traditional Anglican values with challenges of multicultural life in a northwest Detroit neighborhood. Through discussion and group process, a congregational mission statement evolved as 'Christian community spreading out into secular community.' This statement provided focus for parish leaders to move forward with unified and divine purpose.
