"What fence needs moving in your life? How does God's love for you, God's unfailing love for you, make you want to open up for others?"

The Right Rev. V. Gene Robinson reflects on the two central commandments that God gave us to follow - to love God with all our hearts and minds and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

"Most of the time, I think we're painfully aware of when we've hurt another person, when we have breached a relationship. But there are times when we don't know."

In her sermon this Sunday, the Rev. Canon Jan Naylor Cope addressed Christ's command to repair the broken relationships in our lives.

"We can't see the hurt we cause or the doors we close. We can't see how not bearing our own cross makes another person's cross heavier."
