Sermons

Trinity Sunday: I think so often the most memorable things, the most meaningful things, are the ones that are unscripted, unplanned, unpracticed and yet become unforgettable.

Pentecost Sunday: The flames of the Spirit dance even now just above our heads, igniting new possibilities of love and relationship within us.

Easter VII: I said at the beginning that I believe that as Cathedral churches at the heart of our nations, our Cathedrals are uniquely placed to make known God’s call to fellowship and ministry to others.

Easter VII: But the acceptance of the gifts of God was the hardest thing for them to do. It is the hardest thing for us to do.

Easter VI

Easter V: God is saying something to us in the streets of Baltimore, Ferguson, Oakland, and New York. We have the opportunity—and the responsibility—to read the current moment and respond.

Easter IV: For Jesus, there is no “other,” no “us and them,” no group or tribe or race or orientation which we should exclude from the love of God in us. There is no “them,” no “other sheep;” there is only us all, the sheep whom Christ loves.

Easter III: Resurrection is about a new heaven and a new earth. In raising Jesus, God has taken the first step in the remaking of creation. Not just Jesus and not only his friends, but the whole world is being renewed. When it is all over, creation will resemble what God originally intended.

Easter II: But I think it’s a struggle for all of us. We all have things that we lock up inside that need to be unlocked to liberate us to experience that same Easter joy and purpose.
