Notoriously Episcopalian

A sermon offered on the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, August 30, 2020, for worship at Trinity Commons.

Moses is all grown up when God drops into his life. His excitement about the encounter with God at the burning bush quickly turns to uncertainty and excuses when he realizes that God is sending him.

Readings: Exodus 3:1-15 * Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26, 45c * Romans 12:9-21 * Matthew 16:21-28

While I know the opening chapters of Exodus are the origin story for Moses, for me Shiphrah and Puah steal the show. Their act of defiance and use of Pharaoh's ignorance and prejudice against him lays the foundation for continual confrontation and challenge. In their defiant "no" and their faith in God is the beginning of Israel's liberation.

Readings: Exodus 1:8-2:10 * Psalm 124 * Romans 12:1-8 * Matthew 16:13-20

A sermon offered on the 11th Sunday after Pentecost, August 16, 2020.

The readings for this Sunday are powerful, provocative, and involve a lot of shouting. I read these alongside the annual celebration of Jonathan Myrick Daniels, an Episcopal seminarian who was murdered in 1965. Daniels is remembered as a martyr in The Episcopal Church. Each August, in the oppressive heat, pilgrims gather in Hayneville, Alabama, to visit the jail where he was held, the site where he was murdered, and to celebrate Holy Eucharist in the courtroom where his murderer was acquitted. This year due to COVID-19 the pilgrimage was a virtual event. I think our readings and Jonathan’s life have some lessons for us in this present moment of division.

Readings: Genesis 45:1-15 * Psalm 133 * Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 * Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28
