That's What She Said

Junia’s dedication. Jesus’s authority is exercised in compassion for centurions (Roman soldiers! gasp!), slaves (not “servants” as the translations have it), and mother-in-laws. These people don’t really “count” in the economy of religious privilege, but they matter very much to him.

Galileo in the Vashti Years. Katie is preaching. At some point Queen Vashti said to King What’s- His-Name, “Nope.” She didn’t want to dance for him and his friends anymore, even if it meant exile. She wasn’t afraid, and she wasn’t ingratiated, and she wasn’t waiting for his approval.

What if one of the church’s goals is to get everybody into their Vashti years, so that we each and all together are liberated from caring what anybody other than God thinks of us?

Galileo 127 Years from Now. Rev. Tyler Araki is preaching. From Tyler: “Nothing lasts forever, not even our beloved church. But what if it’s for the best, happiest reasons? What if we have done Justice, Kindness, Beauty, Real Relationships, and Whatever it Took- as much as possible? It’s so hard to imagine any of that being true, but it’s what we’re working towards, and God willing, someday we will have completely done what we set out to do- building just a bit of the Kingdom of God in our community.”

Galileo in (Another) Ten Years. Katie is preaching. It’s likely that our ancestors exaggerated the success of their earliest attempts at doing church – the same way are tempted to do, when we look back with nostalgia. (“All church planters lie,” I’ve been heard to say.) But embedded in the exaggeration is a grain of truth. What are the grains of truth they’ll be telling about us in another decade?

Hey, guess what? He’s alive! (But what does it mean that the powers-that-be still want to disappear him? And who else would they disappear, if they could?)

The Sixth Sunday in Lent is Palm & Passion Sunday. It starts with Hosannas and goes downhill from there. After our palm parade, we read the entire account of Jesus’s last week in Jerusalem, including his arrest, trial, guilty verdict, and state execution. We paused to reflect that maybe Palm Sunday doesn’t mean what we thought, and maybe hair care means more than we thought.
