Luke 12:13-21
Sermon from August 7, 2022

Despite brutal persecution Christianity never disappeared from Japan. But it also didn’t take the form that the first missionaries from Europe intended. This sermon describes what happened and points to the ways God speaks to us — not in triumph but defeat, not against silence, but in it.

The Reformation brought with it violent reaction and Christians on the run. Many refugees gathered on the estate of Count Zinzendorf in Saxony. Multiple groups of persecuted Christians with deeply held beliefs and strong disagreements. And yet, one summer in 1727, everything changed and the world witnessed the possibility of unity not based on complete agreement, or even a shared tradition, but Christ alone.

7.3.22

If there is one word that helps us understand Christianity as it flourished in the lands inhabited by the Celts in the first millennium, it’s peregrinatio or pilgrimage. It’s not pilgrimage in the way think about it now—a journey to a holy site. But it’s also not aimless wandering. It’s an understanding of our lives as a journey to God, and everything along the way as part of how we get there.
