The cross and the burning bush, great signs of our faith point us not only up toward God, but out to stand with God’s people. We are sent to share God’s loving solidarity with the world. That is what makes religion true.

In the Name of our Liberating God
In my first sermon as Rector of St. Michael and all Angels Albuquerque, I preach about our liberating faith and the midwives Shiphrah and Puah.
Parable of the Sower: Love Recklessly
In my last Sunday at Holy Communion, I preached a sermon I didn’t expect to preach: The parable of the sower is not about faith or performance. Jesus’ story is about God’s abundant, reckless, love.
Discipleship
If I am able to ask something of you as I prepare to leave it is simply: keep seeking to follow Jesus. Don’t let the anxieties of the world or the church weigh you down. Keep inviting all the wrong people to the table. Keep gathering in a spirit of gentleness, of humility, keep sharing joy and love.
