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

Guest Post: A Poem by Anne Snyder

December 03, 2010, People of St. Paul's (42), Church (77), Guest Blog Posts (9)

Guest post by Anne Snyder, a St. Paul's parishioner

A poem, inspired by watching the Rev. Kate Jenkins ever so gently place the "body of Christ" in the hands of a living blonde angel during communion.

On a Sunday Morning
Illuminated by a shaft of light
Untroubled faith capped with Tiffany gold and
Tested faith like the winter willow
Made to bend but never break
Small hands upturned receiving the gift
Of faith enduring through light and darkness
Older slim hands sharing the gift
Of love enduring

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.
