Rev. Dr. Jim Farwell's Book on the Triduum

Drawing on retired Archbishop of CanturburyRowan Williams, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, and Thomas Merton, Father Jason discusses the purpose of prayer and its relationship to advocacy this week on the anniversary of the Parkland, Florida school shooting.

This week, Father Jason explores Peter's confession of Jesus as the Messiah as told in the Gospel according to Matthew. Fr. Jason draws out some ways that we are similar to Peter and why we are called to carry on the tradition of testimony. He concludes by outlining some ways we practice our witness in church so that we can share that testimony with the world.

This week Fr. Jason Emerson, reflecting on Jesus' encounter with the Canaanite Woman from the Gospel of Matthew, outlines one of the important parts of racial reconciliation: listening to people of color.

On his first Sunday as the Nativity's new Rector, Rev. Jason preaches about Peter walking on the water with Jesus and the fact that we are enough. Even if our faith is little, we are enough to be vessels of Christ out into a hurting world.
