How many of us spend time and energy hiding our imperfections? How much money and anxiety do we spend masking our bodies, trying to conform to some image of perfection? Jesus is risen with wounds, that we might know in our woundedness, we too will rise. Alleluia.

Belonging
When Jesus Rebukes Peter, something important doesn’t happen. Peter doesn’t walk away. In a world where we don’t disagree well, this has much to teach us about our faith in God and our persistence with community.
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.
Breaking Bread
Jesus calls his disciples, on the road to Emmaus “slow of heart.” After this week in Missouri, it is easy to see Christians who are too slow to love. LGBTQ+ people, trans people, are being attacked in our state. Our faith isn’t about wishing away diversity. At this church we practice knowing in our hearts that all our differences somehow fit within the love of God, which gathers us in one body.
