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

Theological Humor: Jesus, Dude

May 19, 2011, Food for the Soul (55)

Posted by Wallace+

Below are a couple of shots I snapped, on Wednesday, in the youth room of St. John's Episcopal Church in Roanoke, Virginia. (I've been over here at a clergy colleague group meeting). Humor, including theological humor, is certainly a key component of a healthy, well-adjusted life.

And I can only imagine that God is amused.

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.
