What God Can Do with Earth and Ash
… what if repentance is not about moral transformation but rather a shift in our perception? A possibility to see the world anew. More

Evolving in Faith
…Life is more complex than a set of rules. Context matters, so we must learn to live with the tension: the tension of not knowing and of living with uncertainty. For that we need to find our inner compass. We need to learn to know ourselves…. More

When Christmas Is Born in You
…the Spirit becomes the extension of God’s reconciling love and intervention in the world, and you are part of that amazing grace. In other words, when the Spirit of Jesus is born in you through the gift of the Holy Spirit, you participate in the Incarnation. More

Don’t Let My Sorrow Make Evil of Me
I have a friend, Bill and I do our best work teasing each other. It is how we show love. Years ago I was on the phone with him and I was complaining about something. Bill said that I was too priestly to be this crabby. I said, “buddy my 40 hours of nice is up.”
So often he likes to remind me that things I say and do are not in line with my vocational calling. So once again talking about something that was difficult, or crabby making involving the gun lobby, my friend Bill said that is not all that “Jesusy’. I laugh so hard that he brings it up to me a lot.
When I say I hate or I am not willing to sacrifice, that is not Jesusy. More

What does Jesus have against goats? (Christ the King)
The parable of the goats and sheep are not just about a dollar to the homeless man, or a donation to Everyone home DC, or the Incarceration ministry or Washington Interfaith Network. We should do all of that work. The parable of the sheep and the goats is about changing our perception. It is about changing our eyes, our hearts, our ears…so that we see. In Native circles we are told we cannot see with colonizers eyes. You can be 100% Native and still have be taught in residential schools and you have the eyes of a colonized person, so we must train ourselves to see a new. More

Shield the Joyous
Last Saturday, a week ago from yesterday, the presidential election was called, finally. It had been a long week filled with anxiety, foreboding, and hope. But it followed an even longer four years of worry. A four years of many people worrying about their immigration status; their ability to marry the person they love; our ability, as a nation to deal with big issues from police reform to climate change to the daily toll of gun violence. Not that we were doing such a great job of dealing with these issues more than four years ago, but last week, it seemed space to breathe and act opened up. And there was joy. More

It Is Not Easy, It Is Not Work for the Faint Hearted But It Is Our Work
There is voter restriction all over this country and we are reminded that we have to continue to fight for everyone’s voices. It is not easy, it is not work for the faint hearted but it is our work, to bring the conversation, the debate to all. To learn how to not only bring out Heart Mind, and soul into the conversation. But to bring in others too, and to listen to the Heart Mind and Soul of all and in that we can live into the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. More

In the end, everything is God’s
God, after all, is the force that animates us, and as such is the ultimate overseer of whatever happens to the world and to its creatures. This comes through very clearly in today’s lesson from Isaiah, where the prophet reminds us that even if Cyrus didn’t know the God of Israel, it was this God who was in charge! More

Thou Shalt Love
It is work for us and for Jesus to show up and speak our truth. It is a lot of energy to turn your energy out, to put it all on the line, and to name your truth. To believe that by doing it we can and should call a new world into being. It is what we need to do, what we are called to be in the world. We are in a place where for some of us we are in a pause, we are able to stay away from one another, we wear masks as an act of love. We continue to support people by continuing to pay our dog walkers, our garden helpers, our lawnmowers, our hair stylists, and for some of us the folks who clean our houses. I am not using those services right now but I continue to pay for them because I know those folks need support. More
