Scripture Is Replete with Images…, Proper 6 (A) – 2008
âJesus went about all the cities and villages.â â Matthew 9:35 Scripture is replete with images and stories of journey. We could site, for example, the epic journey of Abraham and Sarah from Ur in present-day Iraq â the center of ancient civilization â to what was to become the promised land of Israel. Later, […]
Meals and Food…, Easter 3 (A) – 2008
âHe took bread, blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.â Meals and food play an important part in the tradition of post-Resurrection stories â or narratives â found in the gospels. In one such narrative, for instance, Jesus suddenly appears among the disciples as they are huddled together in Jerusalem. After showing them […]
It Is Not Often…, Lent 3 (A) – 2008
“Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, ‘Rabbi, eat something.’” It is not often that we find anyone in the gospels giving Jesus advice or telling him what to do. He is after all the Lord â the one who tells others what to do. Jesus does not need anyoneâs advice. Even his mother, in the […]
Most Episcopalians Are Familiar…, All Saints’ Day (C) – 2007
Most Episcopalians are familiar with the church year: that great cycle of prayer and liturgy that takes us from Advent through Christmas and Epiphany, on through Lent and Easter, and into the long stretch of Sundays after Pentecost. Fewer among us may be familiar with the cycle of the saintsâ calendar. While most of the […]
Shortly After the American Revolution…, Proper 9 (C) – 2007
âRejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her,â it says in Isaiah 66:10. Shortly after the American Revolution, the newly constituted Episcopal Church of the United States devised a special set of prayers and lessons, called âpropers,â to commemorate the Fourth of July and the newly won American independence from […]
According to Those Who…, Trinity Sunday (C) – 2007
According to those who study such things, there are well over five hundred parishes in the Episcopal Church named after the Trinity, making it, along with Christ Church and Saint Johnâs, one of the all-time favorite names for our parish communities. Episcopalians seem to know instinctively the importance of the Trinity in defining their faith […]
Easter Moves Around…, Easter Day (C) – 2007
Easter moves around a lot from year to year. Unlike Christmas, which always falls on December twenty-fifth, no matter the day of the week or the number of shopping days since Thanksgiving, Easter can fall on most any Sunday between March twenty-second and April twenty-fifth. There is, in fact, an entire section of the Book […]
On His Way, Epiphany 4 (C) – 2007
âBut he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.â Luke 4:30 Most Episcopalians know that when a rector leaves a parish to accept another call or perhaps to retire, the parish itself, with the assistance of the bishop, must find a new rector. Most folks also know that this can be […]
A Different Standard, Advent 2 (C) – 2006
“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways.” – Luke 1:76 Imagine for a moment a world and society in which our worth and wages were not determined by our work but rather by an entirely different standard. Suppose we […]
You May Be Familiar…, Proper 21 (B) – 2006
âNo one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.â Mark 9:40 You may be familiar with an outfit called the Church Ad Project. Started some years ago by a dynamic Episcopal priest with an interest in evangelism and church marketing, it got some […]
Back in 1990…, Proper 6 (B) – 2006
âHe did not speak to them except in parables.â Mark 4:34 Back in 1990 when the now famous Hubble telescope was first launched, there was not much hope for its success. Apparently its reflecting mirror had been manufactured improperly, causing the telescopeâs pictures to be out of focus. In fact, Hubble needed a giant — […]
Remember, Ash Wednesday – 2006
âRemember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.â BCP 265 The season of Lent begins with one word: Remember. âRemember,â says priest or minister as a cross of ash and dust is traced on our brows, âthat you are dust, and to dust you shall return.â It is a sober beginning to […]
