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

Visit from Irene Mhogolo, Advocate of Women’s Causes

March 08, 2011

Irene Mhogolo visited St. Paul’s, Sunday, March 6, engaging with us in conversation before our Mardi Gras service. She is an advocate for women’s causes and the wife of Presiding Bishop of Central Tanganyika, Mdimi Mhogolo. In rural Africa, she works with women to find new income opportunities, leadership roles, and education.

Before visiting the Diocese of Virginia, she presented “Women and Education in Tanzania” at the United Nations Committee on the Status of Women while in New York City.

While traveling in the South, she will also visit the Diocese of Atlanta. The Dioceses of Virginia and Atlanta are both involved with the Carpenter’s Kids programs.

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.
