The Go-Between God: I have a dream
http://the-go-between-god.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-have-dream.html
Sunday, August 25, 2013. I have a dream. Today we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of that famous and inspirational speech by Martin Luther King Jnr by putting together a service of secular and sacred song, video and read out extracts of MLK's speeches, liturgy and prayers that challenged us to re-vision a world of hope and peace in our time. Here is the Homily I used for the day:. She goes on in her forward to “Strength to Love”, a collection of Martin’s sermons, to quote Martin in expl...The world we li...

The Go-Between God: May 2012
http://the-go-between-god.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. How say you, this Pentecost? What do you want me to tell you about the Holy Spirit today? Every year, seven weeks after we have celebrated Easter, we celebrate this day called Pentecost – we all know it has something to do with the Holy Spirit, but somehow, when we are reminded of that story in Acts of the Holy Spirit coming in such a dramatic fashion, most of us look around the church as we know it and say “So What? Do these kinds of things ever happen here at St Matthews? If I was...

The Go-Between God: March 2013

Saturday, March 9, 2013. MANIFESTO: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front. I recently came across a 1973 poem by American author Wendell Berry of this title and it seems to me that there is some profound truth in it for our day. It speaks vividly of our enslavement to our consumerist society and the soul's deep yearning form something more. I think I want to be part of a Mad Farmer Liberation Front in our northern suburbs. Love the quick profit, the annual raise,. Vacation with pay. Want more. When they have r...

The Go-Between God: September 2013
http://the-go-between-god.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 21, 2013. I wonder if you have ever thought “Christianity is pretty confusing sometimes? If you have I wonder whether it might have been after you read the Gospel story we had today, or something similar. Sometimes there even seems to be conflicting guidelines about it all. It is indeed clear to us all that we spend far too much time worry about things in the future over which we have no control, and it is a good idea to simply trust that God will sort it out. I suppose we could do th...

The Go-Between God: January 2013
http://the-go-between-god.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. Jesus Shows the Way! Begin as you intend to continue! I have had people say that to me on a number of occasions, usually as I was setting out in a new job. I like it. It made me think about how I might do things differently in this place, or because of this job or whatever. When you begin like this it creates a kind of overture like you have at the beginning of an operetta – something short and sweet that gives you a taster of what is to come. Luke gets right into it. Of course ...

The Go-Between God: You never know what's around the corner
http://the-go-between-god.blogspot.com/2013/02/you-never-know-whats-around-corner.html
Saturday, February 23, 2013. You never know what's around the corner. 8220;I am expecting the end of the world tomorrow! With these words a visiting preacher began his sermon at the North Perth Church of Christ. Now, as it turned out, the preacher wasn’t really expecting the reverse of the big bang to happen the following day. The state of our relationship with God is the most important consideration we can have in this life. Getting this right is our most urgent priority. When sudden and tragic things h...

The Go-Between God: July 2011
http://the-go-between-god.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. If we were creating the Bible today? A few years ago, John Spong offered a challenge - he probably wasn't the first to do so - by asking people to consider what writings they would want to include as equally inspirational in their spiritual lives with a view to creating a contemporary Canon of Scripture. What do you think? Please leave a comment. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). If we were creating the Bible today? View my complete profile. 1 Month to Meet Some Interesting People.
