Sermon: Year B, 2 Lent

I had the opportunity (at Bishop Miller's suggestion) to preach at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in addition to St. Francis House a couple Sundays back. I wanted to post the sermon because I know that some folks who wanted to come couldn't make it and because I was getting lots of questions about the Harvey Cox book I mentioned (it's called Common Prayers: Faith, Family, and a Christian's Journey Through the Jewish Year).

Anyway, if you're interested, you can find the sermon here.

Congratulations

I wanted to pass along a sermon link and some congratulations. The Rev. Gary Manning, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Wauwatosa and friend to several of us in these parts, recently received Virginia Theological Seminary's 2009 John Hines Preaching Award. If you know Gary, you might want to send along your best--even though he probably won't want you too ;).

Either way, you should read his award-winning sermon (on Romans, chapter 6) if you have the time. I think you'll be glad you did.
