  • This Past’s Sunday’s Sermon

    I recorded this before the livestream, as a way of practicing what I’d say during the service, so it’s a little different from what you heard if you were watching on Sunday. One difference is that Coleton Raver was able to join us during the livestream and read his poem. I’m including the text of…

  • This Past Sunday’s Sermon

    I recorded this in advance of the service in order to practice for the live stream, so it’s a bit different from the sermon you’ll see me deliver if you go to Facebook. Use the player below to listen to it.

So we will direct you to the parish’s Facebook page to watch the livestream. You might have to scroll down a little to find the video playing. Here’s the link the parish’s…

  • How Episcopalians can celebrate the 50th Earth Day during a pandemic

    The Episcopal Church has long been engaged in climate action and other environmental stewardship efforts (like protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline) under the theological mandate of being good stewards of God’s creation.

  • Join us for an Eastertide Earth Day-Plus Zoom Group Hosted by Elliott Bush

    It’s the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Environmental organizations all over the world had been planning mass events to celebrate and to press governments to take action. Then came COVID-19 and “shelter-in-place” orders for the whole month of April and maybe into May. But there are still ways to celebrate and to act as Christian…

  • Easter Vigil Service Tonight at 9:00 PM

    We will be live-streaming our Easter Vigil service to Facebook at 9:00 PM. Facebook recently changed its protocols, so we can’t stream directly to the parish’s page.

    Moses in the Sapphire Cloud

    Apophatic and Cataphatic Prayer and the Sinai Theophany He was on the mountain for forty days, and what were those days like? Alone, the sky dense around him, the earth occasionally rumbling, and when he saw a glimpse of the divine, it was as if he was looking through stained glass, stained a deep sapphire.…

    The Mixture of the Multitude: Liberation Readings of Scripture

    We gathered on Wednesday evenings throughout July and August, sitting around the ubiquitous plastic folding tables that are known to every church. Sunlight slanted in through the wall of glass windows, and the smells of the parish kitchen— old coffee, musty sponges, cleaning product— filled the room. We were there to study Queer Theology, a…
