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

Our Belovedness, Our Greenness

May 20, 2010, Christianity (85), Church (77), Food for the Soul (55), Love (17)

The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts SchoriPosted by Wallace+

When on retreat recently, at the monastery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, it was a pleasure and a blessing to hear our Presiding Bishop preach, in celebration of the patronal feast of the Society of St. John the Evangelist.  Following is a link to that (very fine, and memorable) sermon.

John, the Beloved Disciple - May 1, 2010

May we all know our belovedness; and may we all be filled with the greenness (the veriditas) of God.

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.
