Sunday, September 14, 2008. Alienation: Exile from the Garden". Back to the Basics: Caring for Creation. Later, back at home, I began to wonder if perhaps Patrick should have taken a bath after his little swim. Just what sort of pesticides or herbicides might be in that creek, I wondered? There's a lot of farming around here, and certainly the waterways carry agricultural runoff. And what else might have been in there? My anxiety level went up a bit: Did he get water into his mouth? Did he drink it?

And so we hear in the psalm, which was written after their return home from exile, both of these notes. That high note of joy: mouths filled with laughter, tongues loosed in shouts of joy. Returning refugees so deliriously happy they wonder if they are dreaming. Feasting on the Word: Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary. Sunday, December 7, 2008. 8220;Complex Comfort”.

Sunday, May 4, 2008. Friday was Yom HaShoah, the Jewish “Day of the Catastrophe and the Heroism,” when Jews remember the terrible events and the many victims of the Holocaust. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what this means to me, and why I wanted to share with you my feelings about this day, this painful but holy day. Jews are taught, from the very youngest age, to remember not just the lessons. Of our history, but our history itself,. The experience of it. Was a slave in Egypt.”. It’s not...

Sunday, January 11, 2009. 8220;God of the Waters”. Genesis 1:1-5, Psalm 29, Mark 1:4-11. And then one day, the smooth fabric of our lives gets torn apart. We get a phone call telling us that both of our parents have been killed in a car accident. The doctor says, “I think it’s cancer. Can you come for a biopsy? In fact, in the beginning all is water, all is chaos, as we hear in our creation myth from Genesis: watery deeps, dark and formless. This quotation, and some of the ideas in this sermon, come from.
