Why do you preach what you preach? | iconostasis

https://unefeve.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/why-do-you-preach-what-you-preach

Spirituality art music books politics and the occasional sermon. Why do you preach what you preach? Posted on June 26, 2014. I kind of wished you had preached on the Gospel, a parishioner said to me after last Sunday’s service. I’d like to understand what Jesus meant when he said ‘For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother.’ It was a reasonable request.

From an address given at the Dean's Dinner in the Hall of Trinity College, April 24 2010.
