Second Presbyterian Church Professor of Christian Education

Spring Convocation Address
February 6, 2014
Isaiah 11:6-9
Mark 10:13-16

Maybe the church can stretch a little by welcoming children, maybe we can practice a little more often advocating for the least of these in society, perhaps we can cultivate richer imaginations for love’s sake. Perhaps we can trust a child to lead us in the ways of peace. Listen to the convocation sermon.  Read the sermon in PDF.

Psalm 65--World Communion

Psalm 65

Biblical texts and geological texts differ in many ways but both have a way of rearranging our minds, shifting our sense of time and place if not our sense of home and community. When it comes to the world community, the communion of creation, there is of course a lot of work to be done, a lot of rearranging to do. Borders and boundaries are configured in terrible ways and the earth’s thermostat is out of whack. Our proclivities and transgressions overwhelm us. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF.
