Sermons from Lyndale
Praying with our lives
I think we must consider prayer in the way of Exodus, in the way of the Jewish prophets, in the way of Rabbi Heschel and his Hasidic forebears, in the spirit of Selma and every movement, before and since, oriented in the direction of freedom, radical welcome, and a world transformed by holy justice.
Pentecost
Honestly, I might have thrown in the towel on calling myself a Christian if it weren’t for the Holy Spirit and her rushing wind, her wild goose, her fire of passion and her flowing water.
Memorial Day and Service of Remembrance
I invite us to re-member that death is never the end. That violence is never the final answer. That systems that seek to separate us are lies. Instead, our ritual helps us re-member, too, that Abba/Em is woven throughout creation, was poured out in Jesus and walked the earth.
