IMPERDIBLE:" Thoughts on Being Found. Sunday, February 26, 2012. As my first semester in seminary came to a close, I found myself in the midst of an unexpected avalanche of tears. It wasn’t the relief of having completed my last theology exam or the sudden revelation of the mysteries of the Hebrew language. Nor was it a moment of identity crisis, which many seminarians experience when they find their concept of God has been drastically dismantled. This particular gathering did not only serve the purpose ...

IMPERDIBLE:" Thoughts on Being Found. Saturday, April 13, 2013. I recently had an unusual version of your typical peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was meeting with the confirmation class at the Presbyterian church where I’m serving as a seminary intern. The pastor there prepared a “make-it-yourself” lunch buffet with some fruit and sandwich supplies. I wasn’t trying to make things unnecessarily complicated, but I just so happen to like my PB&J with peanut butter on both pieces of bread. It was my mist...

IMPERDIBLE:" Thoughts on Being Found. Monday, August 20, 2012. Where is Your Gibeon? Sermon given at Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church, Guilderland, NY. Sunday August 19th, 2012. 1 Kings 3: 3-14. The fifteen to twenty chaplains, some full-time others periodic volunteers, that roam the halls of Albany Med are not known for maximizing time, emphasizing productivity or managing output. Such models of economy and success are not easily applied to this field. We bring our humor, our prayers, sometimes our ow...

IMPERDIBLE:" Thoughts on Being Found. Saturday, November 5, 2011. The past few weeks have reinforced the fact that I do not limit myself to one single faith tradition. It is not that I have studied the in-depth theologies of each faith practice and fully agree with the prescriptions of each. And it’s not that I find a glaring gap in one tradition or another, which needs to be filled, changed or altered somehow. The Presbyterian tradition is one particular window or lens through which to experience God...

IMPERDIBLE:" Thoughts on Being Found. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Sermon given at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. December 3, 2012. Was the name I was most often called throughout the year I spent in Peru, a general term used for white foreigner. I was also called. Blancita, gordita, flakita. Names relating to my skin color, my size, my height - the obvious markers of my physical identity. That night, far removed from the chaos of the marketplace, I asked my host father what “. He went on to...

IMPERDIBLE:" Thoughts on Being Found. Friday, November 11, 2011. Liturgical dance set to Balinese and Javanese Gamelan music, during a Service of Dissonance and Harmony at Louisville Seminary's Caldwell Chapel. The service celebrated the unity and diversity of Indonesian culture and the possibility for progressive harmony in all communities. Saturday, November 5, 2011. My desire is not to meld the various spiritual paths into one cohesive, unlimited sense of the Holy… that’s God’s prero...The Presbyteria...
