It’s not all about you

Audio of sermon: Pentecost-L14A.2011

“…I think that the ultimate victory that sin could possibly have in a life
in any life
would be to make us forget the truth
that it isn’t all about us.

Omphaloskepsis or incurvatus in se

That somehow God wasn’t strong enough to overcome sin
that God’s love somehow wasn’t powerful enough to heal the most broken things in this world
that God somehow didn’t care enough about every single part of God’s creation
that God wasn’t working to free it
to heal it
to transform it…”

I am, well ... me. I am probably most defined by my diversity of experiences: I have lived in three countries and visited (or lived on) six continents. I love to garden and take pictures and think about theology (and grace and justice and all that jazz) and I love Jazz (and a whole lot of other music too) ... and I do yoga and go hiking and enjoy meeting new people and talking international politics and working on justice issues and watching wildlife in my yard and wandering in NYC and kayaking. I especially love sitting in coffee shops and talking to friends. I hate sitting in my office. Oh, and they call me "Pastor," at least some of the time.
