Season of Creation: Opportunities to put our faith to work for the common good.

2 Comments / Glad Tidings / Alfred / September 20, 2021

So, faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. (James 2:17) The devastating extreme weather, racial inequity, and pandemic of this past year are interconnected and provide an indication of how we are living on and treating the Earth and its inhabitants, human and nonhuman. The Season of Creation, September 1 through October […]

Out of the Depths – Hope

From the Clergy / Alfred / March 26, 2020

Outreach / Alfred / March 26, 2020

Thoughts on Acts

Glad Tidings / Alfred / March 26, 2020

Acts 20:35 tells us it is better to give than to receive. For about eight months now, when four young grandsons moved in with us last summer, Sharon and I have lived on the receiving side of that Scriptural equation. Realizing we were short on everything, we put out quiet calls for help. We were

From the Clergy / Alfred / March 19, 2020

There Shall a Star from Jacob

From the Clergy / Alfred / January 2, 2020

What do you remember about last year? Or, since this is 2020, what do you remember about the past decade? Do you take your yearly learning and use it for New Year’s resolutions? Or do you write your resolutions and hope for the best? Every year around Epiphany, pretty much without fail, I get a
