"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."

In her sermon this Sunday, the Rev. Canon Rosemarie Logan Duncan considered the ways in which our limited perspective keeps us from seeing the fullness of God's grace.

"Martin Luther King said that Jesus Christ was, 'an extremist for love, truth and goodness.' He didn't come to make us happy. He didn't come to punish us for our sins, or to wrap himself in the American flag. He came to save us from ourselves and to teach us how to walk in the way of love.

This Sunday, the Very Rev. Randy Hollerith reflected on the sixtieth anniversary of the March on Washington. 

"And this is still our hope as it was their hope." 

In his sermon this Sunday, the Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin reminded us that we need faith as we pursue justice and progress.

"It’s important to note that the role of faith here is not in stopping the storm. Faith rarely stops a storm. But what faith promises is to enable Peter to walk just on the water without falling, without drowning, to literally walk on troubled waters."

"The glorification the disciples witness with their own eyes confirms Jesus' identity as the Son of God, the Messiah. But even more, it shows them there will be life beyond the cross and they will live it."

In the Rev. Canon Dana Colley Corsello's Transfiguration Sunday sermon, she considered God's glory, as we experience it in Scripture and in our own lives. 

"I was being held in the hollow of God's hand." 

This Sunday, in her sermon, the Rev. Canon Jan Naylor Cope offered personal testimony and heartfelt congratulations to graduating members of our Cathedral Scholars program.

"God is tending us, and all we have to do is share because God does the rest of the work."

"Our journey with Christ will include all these stages, struggle, distraction, stagnation, and yes, flourishing. The good news for us is that our growth depends not on our own efforts, or our sheer will alone, but on the one who sows the seed and cares for it, watering it abundantly and making it very plenteous."

"This freedom is not a free for all but is a yoked freedom. We are liberated by the yoke of Christ into new relationships with God and each other."

“Our very diversity is a gift from God, a diversity that is to be celebrated, not controlled and contained somehow.”
