I try to preach each sermon as if it was going to be my last one, because what we do together every Sunday deeply matters. We are trying to do no less than help each other to grow in grace, to more completely become children of God, to allow Jesus through the Spirit to guide our lives. We seek to be forgiven.

Psalm 133
1 John 1:1-2:
2 John 20:19-31
When all the ministers for a cathedral service are lined up and it is time, Charles Shipley looks you in the eye, nods his head, and almost under his breath he says, “let’s go.” Then he turns and we all walk into a mysterious, living stream that has flowed for centuries. We simply take that first step and eternity carries us forward, into the deepest places, into the very presence of God.

Touching Wounds, Touching Resurrection
Read sermon
From skinned knees to post op stitches, scabs and scars and wounds protrude as signs that something somewhere went sideways. On this Second Sunday of Easter, we hear the story of “Doubting Thomas.” The often disparaged disciple teaches us about the need to see and touch wounds in order to touch resurrection. Wounds are often a source of identity and personal history, and we don’t rise in Christ apart from touching our own wounds, the scars and scabs of the earth, its peoples and nations. This is especially true in Israel/Palestine, where the inability to touch the other’s wounds perpetuates enmity and violence. Together, fearlessly putting our hands into wounds, we can become messengers of reconciliation and redemption.The Rev. Canon Anna E.
