Reconciliation Otherward – bringing the flock together.
… “WE are all a part of George Floyd’s legacy” –
This is important…In witnessing his hate-filled murder by societal authorities… we must all respond with action, working towards systemic change. It is not ok to be a bystander!, says the VP. We are called to work towards justice.’ We are called to loving actions.
The St Marks community is filled with ministries for social change.
Yesterday, I attended the WIN meeting regarding the use of land in ward 6 and 7… and I was so impressed. I think there were 200 people – many from St Marks – in person or on zoom – who joined in – with determination and resolve – to ensure that this property be available for those without. More

The Many Directions of Reconciliation What it means to become God’s reconciliation in the world.
So for reconciliation, there is a component of timing, being Thomas and Mary more than Jesus I can say that not much is instantaneous but a slow working of showing up and doing the day to day work of moving toward those I am out of reconciliation with. The other component the other ‘ward’ the other movement towards reconciliation is the rooting out of bad information or a bad piece of the story we tell ourselves. More

Conquering Fear: Palm Sunday 2021
Evidently, the crowd knows who Jesus is, but the difference now is that Jesus doesn’t silence them. He is ready to fully assume his messianic identity and confront the authorities in the capital city. Matthew and John in their respective versions quote a passage from the prophet Zechariah, which talks about a king that will come riding on a donkey not a warhorse, one who will be peaceful and meek. This king was David coming back to Jerusalem, peaceful and humble. He had been saved and vindicated by God. And Jesus is seen as the new David who will save his people from oppression. More

We are called to See not just look, Easter Sunday 2021
Mary the disciple is able to see because she is within the community and she can build on what is seen before her, now not just a stolen body, but a missing body, the wrapping left, the cloth left, she then is able to see angels and then her teacher. I wonder if she would have been stuck on one part of it if she did not have a community to nudge her along, to help her see something radically new, life-changing new, transformative? More

They Wish To See Jesus.
So how do I show you the divine spark this morning? How do I open the door so that you get to see Jesus? Where do I find Andrew to ask where he is and if it is okay for you all to come and have a peek? Come and have a chat that leads to a lifelong friendship, connection? I am not sure, and I know that I do not have to do it alone. I do not have to be the magic conduit to God, I point and hopefully, you go together, you make community and you see a way forward that brings more God, more Love, more light into the world. More
