Faith that Gnaws, August 2021

For the sermon before a week of needed vacation, I’m quite happy. However there are a few details I want to correct or elaborate on. First, there are 39 Articles of Religion. Although the one I quote is the 29th, so perhaps we can assume that’s the basis for my confusion? Second, for my fellow […]

Raise them Up, August 2021

I kept hearing this hymn in my head every time I read this passage. It’s a favourite of mine and very clearly drawn from this text. Which lead to some other trips through earlier thoughts I’ve had about this passage. I worked most closely with John 6.34 41-51.

Unschedulable Spirit

It started at lunch. We were a church-y group at a church-y gathering. I don’t remember how we wound our way to this topic, but we started wondering why our schedule, replete with initial meetings of all of The Episcopal Church’s Councils, Commissions, and Boards (CCABs), didn’t include Eucharist. Being nerdy Church nerds, we understandingly […]

SR: Amid the Crumbs, Easter 3 2014

Link: Amid the Crumbs, Easter 3 2014 Summary of what I was saying and why: I was not supposed to preach this week. But due to email and schedule mishaps I did. There were two bits of the Gospel that had grabbed me. When Jesus asks the disciples what thugs had happened and the brokenness […]
