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

Remember Russ

April 22, 2011

Since the loss of our friend Russ Palmore, the Richmond Times-Dispatch has run an article he contributed to our newsletter, the Epistle. In the essay, Russ reflects on how, even in the midst of busyness, his faith was a “port in the storm” for him.

Also, the Richmond Times-Dispatch published an editorial about Russ, which includes the following: “The good Russell V. Palmore Jr. made manifest is not gone but will enrich and guide those destined to seek the still proceeding star of royal beauty bright.”

Hear what Russell shared in our Epistle article and read the editorial.

Indeed, I got a note today, from a friend of Russ’, where the friend writes, “As you know, Russ was a baseball fan and, a few years back, a fine player.  I trust that Russ is now playing shortstop, making no errors and battling 1.000... much like his life with us.  His wry smile, his quick wit, his helping hand and his gentle spirit will be missed.”  Amen.

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.
