On Monday, the President of Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) was profiled in "HOME Leader Fights for Fair Housing," in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Speaking to the reporter, Connie Chamberlin explained what motivates her work at HOME:

"I work for an organization that has a mission that involves changing the world, and it's doing a good job step by step."

And change the world they do, showing up day after day and doing the unsung legwork necessary to fight discrimination in housing access and remain a force for justice in our city.

HOME, with St. Paul's roots, was founded in 1971 and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
