On All Saints Day, two days before the election: the saints have a way of reminding us that our moment is just that, our moment. There have been moments like this before. There have been moments when hate has held sway over a large portion of the population. There have been times when violence and threats of violence were all around. The saints helped us survive. The saints helped chart the way through.

All Saints
On the Feast of All Saints, we pause to remember those who have led the way in faith. When news of injustice and violence in our world seems overwhelming. When it seems that the worst theologies are shaping policy, are shaping how our society treats one another, remember you are not alone. There are saints of God like Oscar, like Pauli, who have walked this way before.
Angels, Dragons, and Cynics
On our Patronal Feast, I preach about a parish that practices slaying dragons. We live in cynical days, how can faith respond?
The World Turned Right Side Up
no matter who wins the election, we will have work to do. Washington can’t do it alone. Whoever is president, the work of Holy Communion will be pretty much the same. We need to make a difference with love. We need to make a difference with love. We need to turn our little corner of the world right-side up. We can only do it with love.
