What's New with Wallace & St. Paul's

Food for the Soul: SSJE Sermons

December 28, 2009

Posted by Wallace+

Just the other day I made reservations for my ninth annual retreat at the Monastery of the Society of St. John the Evangelist (SSJE), in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At some point, God willing, I plan to bring a brother or two down to St. Paul's to lead a retreat (and I have talked with them about this); and, at some other point, I would like to lead a group of our folks up to the monastery for a retreat.

SSJE is an order of Episcopal monks founded in Oxford England in 1866. Soon after their founding, they came to this country. They have become a profound source of life-giving encouragement and spiritual nourishment to me. Recently I was pleased to realize that their sermons are available online. I commend them to you whole-heartedly:


"Every single person has been created in the image of God. There is no such thing as a mere mortal." -Brother Curtis, in a recent sermon

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.
