Until the thirteenth century, the cross as the symbol of our salvation was fashioned not with a corpus, but was encrusted with jewels. Precious gems spoke to the faithful of the time of Christ’s victory over sin and death, and of his reign as king of heaven and earth. Although crucifixes have generally been styled…
A priest colleague of mine tells the story of a friend who was about to enter a large, exclusive department store. Standing back to allow a young woman to enter the door before him, enter she did while he held the door, and without a “thank-you” or a nod, she proceeded on her way. Needless…
«Death is swallowed up in victory.» St. Paul must have been a very brave man to write this and to believe this because we all think and know that it is death which swallows up everything up in victory. We all know that we must die one day. Whatever we do we shall die but…
Fifty-two years ago, on All Saints’s Day, a requiem eucharist was celebrated for the Archbishop of Canterbury. To be sure, William Temple was one of the giants of Anglican Christianity in the twentieth century. During the thirty-five years between his ordination as deacon and his death at Lambeth Palace, Temple was a parish priest, headmaster…
The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard The Scripture today resonates with the challenge, “Come, labor on.” It has been said that we are what we do all day so that’s probably why we so often ask people we have just met, “What is it that you do?” In fact, our labor has such…
Do you believe in miracles? Well, that’s what we have come to celebrate today: the miracles of Saint David Pendleton Oakerhater, the only Native American on our calendar of saints. Like all good saints, Saint David Oakerhater has miraculous events attached to his name: wonderful acts God performed through him that really do defy our…
When the story from the Hebrew Scriptures opens, the Hebrew people have been living in Egypt for about as long as Europeans and Africans have been here in North America. A new pharaoh — or king — begins to rule Egypt. Because slave labor is important to the well – being and economy of his…
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord – for the Almighty has done great things for me and holy in his name. In most human societies, singing plays an important role as an expression of human feelings. In most African societies the song is an important vehicle for expressing one’s feelings. There is singing…
Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Mary the Virgin, the principal feast of Mary in all branches of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church, and indeed, in some Protestant churches as well. Because she is regarded as the greatest of the saints and the first Christian, today marks the chief saints day which…
As the balminess of summer beckon us to commune with nature, our senses become so relaxed that we forget, until the chills of autumn settle in, the passage of time. Earlier this week, we remember to remember an irony of history that occurred half a century and one year ago. That year, the first atom…
Today’s lessons are not comforting. They run counter to the belief commonly held by many Christians that if you choose to live your life in accordance with God’s word, then everything will be alright. You will live in peace and quiet and that nothing bad will happen to you because you are being good. Today’s…
One of the hallmarks of modern society is a yearning after justice. Or at least we like to hope–or perhaps pretend–that it is. Justice is an ideal that stands over our political systems and it is the standard against which those systems are judged. We pray for justice: “I ask your prayers for peace; for…
