Figures in Light, Figures in Motion

Nelson and I attended a special preview of the Nutcracker on Friday, attended by busloads of children from all around Richmond. During the course of the performance, I discreetly snapped a few pics with my iPhone, which has no flash. The result was fascinating, as you can see.

Light will do things that we never could have predicted, never could have imagined. It's no wonder that light is the most essential, the most universal of all metaphors, religious or otherwise: light in the midst of darkness; light as surprise; light as mystery; light as life!

Thanks be to God.

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.
