Christ the King Sunday: The deep wisdom of truth is available for us if we only will seek it.

When you read it carefully and mull it over for a while, you realize that the psalm gives thanks for something that hasn’t even happened yet.

Pentecost XXIV: As Christians, as people of faith, how do we make sense of the burdens borne by the modern soldier?

Pentecost XXIII: I know some of you will miss church, but there you have it: there won’t be any one place to call “church” anymore since every place will be church, if what you mean by church is the place where you seek God.

Reformation Sunday: Gary Hall is immensely privileged to have the honor and responsibility of being the dean and preacher of this grand Cathedral. I am confident Dr. Hall will fulfill this responsibility with wisdom and courage, faithfulness and imagination, and with the warmth of humor.

We may not be courageous people by nature, but we can do courageous things through God who strengthens us. All the really exciting things require more courage than we currently have.

Pentecost XXI: If we learn anything from the life and death and resurrection of Jesus, it is that the One Jesus calls his Father does not dwell in imperial splendor.

Pentecost XX: Jesus’ experience of human joy and sorrow, happiness and pain, has changed the way God knows and loves us.

Pentecost XVIII: The Christian view is not only that there is life beyond the grave but that it is intricately and intimately connected to life before the grave.
