Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good: Leaving the Tomb

http://improbableoptimisms.blogspot.com/2015/04/leaving-tomb.html

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good. Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Saturday, April 04, 2015. Here's my homily for the Great Vigil of Easter. The Gospel is Mark 16:1-8. Everyone has failed Jesus. The three women failed him, too. They failed him when he was still alive; they won’t fail him now. They’ll follow the funerary customs, as they do when anyone they love dies. They’ll give Jesus’ body every bit of respect they can,...Oh, he’s not here. He left;...Angels ...

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good: May 2015

http://improbableoptimisms.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good. Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Here's tomorrow's homily. The lesson is Acts 1:15-17, 21-26. I usually preach on the Gospel, but this week it's Jesus-as-talking-head pontificating in John, and I'd always rather preach on a passage where people are doing things. Narrative junkie, c'est moi. How do we move forward after betrayal? The lesson makes this sound like a simple matter of reasoned discussion, pra...

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good. Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Here's today's Gospel lesson, one of my favorites. It's from the fifth chapter of Mark:. When Jesus had crossed again in the boat. To the other side, a great crowd gathered round him; and he was by the lake. Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet. So he went with him. He looked all round to see who had done it.

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good. Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Here's today's Blue Christmas homily. The readings are. Tonight, the Winter Solstice, is the longest night of the year. Tomorrow, the days will start getting longer again. But many of us have come to church this evening because we’re struggling with our own darkness, with sorrow and loss. This story reminds us of the value of darkness. Children grow first in darkne...

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good. Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Sunday, August 17, 2014. Here's today's homily. The Gospel is Matthew 15:21-28. 8220;Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”. It sounds like something Jesus might say. It sounds like things Jesus did. Say, but only after his encounter with the Canaanite woman. All lives matter. I don’t have an answer, but I do have an observation. The story of ...Thousan...

Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good. Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Saturday, November 08, 2014. Here's tomorrow's homily. The readings are Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25. My thanks to the Rev. Chip Arnold for a rousing model of how to turn this parable on its head. This may be part of why I’m on the side of the foolish. This is the guy who told that other parable, the one about the laborers who show up late to work in the vineyard but receive the same pay as everyone el...
