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

Presiding Bishop Covers Many Topics during Conversation at St. Paul’s

March 03, 2011

The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, delivered a conversation this past Sunday, injecting humor but also giving serious answers to questions from St. Paul’s parishioners. In addition to preaching at St. Paul’s, she also delivered a sermon at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Church Hill, celebrating 400 years.

During her 45-minute conversation, she discussed a variety of topics from unrest in the Middle East to the future of the Episcopal Church. She stressed that Christians must extend their efforts beyond the physical building to reach people within the community who are in need. According to her, traditional Episcopal churches deeply engaged in healing their surrounding communities are growing.

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.
