Practicing resurrection means remembering that though cruel tyrants may hold sway from time to time over politics, they do not have to control our minds, our hope, our imaginations.

Resurrected Faith
This Easter, I want to ask, what would it mean to have a Resurrected faith?
Easter, Rise Up
On Easter morning, we find Mary at the tomb, weeping. “Why are you crying?” she is asked. I suspect many of us know, know in our bones this pain, this grief. Easter is the story not just of Jesus rising up, but of Mary too. Mary goes to tell good news from the graveyard. Mary is sent so the world may know, hope is never finally dead.
Truth in Disbelieving Times (or, Thomas in the days of “Fake News”)
This story is a miracle. Thomas, like so many before him, is healed by Christ’s touch. Healed of his grief, of his disbelief. Easter tells us there are Truths which are universal. There are Truths which outlast even the worst news. There is Truth worth believing.
