Revised Common Lectionary Reflection, Trinity Sunday, Year A, June 7, 2020
What might it look like today to really be the Beloved Community, an expression of church and society that includes all people in just and equitable decisions affecting life, opportunity, and wellbeing? What kind of “Body” does Christ want us to be for him now? What is the Spirit saying to the church? (Photo: Jason Hargrove, Creative Commons)
Narrative Lectionary for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year Four, September 10, 2017
What words and images stand out to you in this week’s lesson from Genesis? For me it’s the idea of creating, the power of speaking and Word/words, of proclaiming all that is created to be good, of celebrating the creation, and of resting from the work of creation. It’s a divine rhythm as natural as drawing breath and exhaling—both active and reflective. Best of all, God invites us into relationship so that we are part of the dance.

Revised Common Lectionary Reflection, Trinity Sunday, Year A, June 11, 2017
Holy Trinity Sunday is an excellent time to remind one another that we do not “go it alone” when we follow Jesus and live disciples in the beloved community. We are stewards of a very good gospel, yes indeed, but we are also stewards of one another. We are called into relationship, no matter how messy, difficult, or beautiful that may be on any given day.

Lectionary Reflection for Holy Trinity Sunday, Year A, June 15, 2014
Instead of pondering the essence of the Trinity this Sunday, why not celebrate Jesus’ call for us to live out the full expression of God’s mercy, grace, and love in the practice of making disciples? It’s a tall order, but we are not called to go it alone. We do it together, and we do it with God. (Photo: Frank Ates)
