168 yrs to the day after Frederick Douglass issued his "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" message, I joined with the faith leaders of the Poor People's Campaign in preaching on that theme from my particular context of The Episcopal Church in Alabama. The texts for reflection included Frederick Douglass' speech, theContinueContinue reading "What is the 4th of July?"

“What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.”

A sermon for the Sixth Sunday of Easter offered during online worship for Trinity Commons, Birmingham, Alabama. This is one of my favorite passages from Acts--Paul preaching at the Areopagus--that I tried to set it into conversation with one of my favorite TV shows--Mad Men (S2E7). Acts 17:22-31 Psalm 66:7-18 John 14:15-21 https://youtu.be/NeaOCNiStI4 ContinueContinue

“And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly”

Part of being “notoriously Episcopalian” is a nerdy appreciation for the Book of Common Prayer. I have grown up with the current prayerbook, and really love the breadth of prayers it contains. I particularly love when a prayer seems to show up that I have either forgotten about or overlooked. In this season of pandemic,ContinueContinue reading "“And if I am to do nothing,

Go quickly and tell . . .

"We are storytellers. Like all the people of God before us, we are called to tell the story of God’s salvation. And maybe in times of uncertainty and death, we need to linger in that story a little longer." In this time of physical distancing, my worshipping community is gathering online. Here is my sermonContinueContinue reading "Go quickly and tell . . ."

Maundy Thursday when the church doors are closed

In this time of physical distancing, my worshipping community is gathering online. Here is my sermon offered for our online worship for Maundy Thursday "Maundy Thursday is about the commandment to love one another, as Jesus loved us. It is by this love, and not our signs and symbols or our church buildings, that theContinueContinue reading "Maundy Thursday when the church doors are

Lazarus & Vincent Van Gogh

“Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”

"Linus was right. Christmas isn’t about gifts, food, or the love of friends. Christmas is about the moment when heaven opened, and angels sang: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."

Salt & Light: a sermon for a wedding

On Saturday, November 16, 2019, I had the privilege of officiating the wedding of Matt and Steven at St. Francis Chapel at Camp McDowell. It was a real joy to be part of the beautiful day.

A pharisee, a tax collector, and my favorite book

In 1996 I bought my first copy of _Good Omens_ by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, and I have read it at least once a year for 23 years. Finally, after 8 years of ordained ministry, I have used this fantastic story as a significant part of a sermon. A sermon for the 20th SundayContinueContinue reading "A pharisee, a tax collector, and my favorite book"
