Swimming Upstream: Toward Justice & Peace

July 16, 2010, Faith & Politics (33), In the News (Nation, World) (80), Justice (12)

"Some people will say, 'You're swimming upstream.' You know what? So I'm swimming upstream,'' McCarthy said. "But I can't let the NRA step all over this Congress."

I give thanks for Bobby Scott, and for Carolyn McCarthy, Lori Haas, and Colin Goddard. I give thanks for them, and for all those with the courage to swim upstream with them, against a political and cultural tide that carries innocent American after innocent American to their bloody graves every year.

Let us pray for justice and for peace; for sane gun policy; for the victims of gun violence, and for their families; and for wise and courageous leaders.

Amen, 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.
