Comment on Salt and light. Precious and bright. Necessary and powerful. by JeCaThRe

I was in St. Andrew’s when you preached this, and when I went to write about the blessing of bread, wine and salt I wanted to include the information you’d shared about salt going bad. It wasn’t anyway on the web, just a bunch of people assuring me that table salt had no shelf life and a bunch of preachers trying to figure out how salt could go bad. I’m very glad this is here, both because I needed the salt information, and because it was good to read this and be reminded of the powerful words of your sermon.

Comment on Go ahead: I dare you. I double dare you! by Peter Menkin

Interesting sermon, Reverend. So pretty and perfect so that in its pretty and perfect reflection of the goodness of the people involved in the area of controversy you cite, I wonder how real it may be in life. But no one said a sermon has to be anything but a lesson. Nonetheless, noting you are in the south, Virginia in particular, I wonder what you think of the conflict over property in Episcopal Church and feelings and such of conflict. As you note in your sermon, “To say, “Actually, Jesus didn’t mean we were to shut people out. Jesus wants us to love one another, and we can’t do that if we exclude them.”

And we are the ones who are called to love one another – again and again, no matter how hard that is, no matter how many times we want to walk away, no matter now many times others walk away from us.” Check out this article of mine regarding conflict and how people are dealing with it in Georgia. I say this not to refute your good lesson so much, but to point out the task is not always so easy that you outline–irregardless of Christian education and ways.

I do hope it is relevant to your issue at hand, in some ways (your comment?): http://www.religiousintelligence.org/churchnewspaper/blogs/an-amalgam-of-original-research-writing-compilation-of-documents-and-statements-about-christ-church-savannah-ga-property-dispute/

Suzanne, I’d love to have you follow my web site … I used to have the subscription widget on there, but it’s missing now. (Had a meltdown of the web site at one point …). Let me see if I can get it back on there. It’s good to meet you!
Blessings,
Lauren

John Henry Rice is a friend and colleague. I am a longtime missionary and by day a museum communications professional. I want to subscribe to your bog and can’t seem to see how. I also want to know when you are next coming to Richmond.

I was in Rwanda in 1997. I think we were the first US team to go after the genocide. I attached my blog about our recent trip to Southern Sudan.

Oh, Grace, I had NO idea that was it’s name before! The Good Shepherd folks have done a great job taking care of the place. And last Sunday, two women came to church there for the first time after seeing the ad that Good Shepherd’s been running in the paper for years. It was a holy day, and your sermon on Saturday helped so very much … thank you!

I just saw the link to this on Micki’s page, Lauren–wonderful job!
I had heard that you were going to be at Blue Grass last Sunday–aren’t they a great bunch of folks? I went one Sunday a year or so ago.
You know, it used to be a Presbyterian church–that’s what it was the first time I ever saw it, some 20+ years ago. I nearly drove off the road laughing. In a way, it’s too bad they didn’t keep at least part of the name. Can’t you just see a traditional Episcopal-style sign proclaiming the CRAB BOTTOM EPISCOPAL CHURCH??
