4910 Cecil St.: The End of the Fourth Quarter
http://4910cecilst.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-end-of-fourth-quarter.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2016. The End of the Fourth Quarter. Because for those who are really lost, their life depends on paying real attention. If you think you know where you are, you stop looking. This month, we borrowed our friend's Be Bold Bus to deliver 400 gallons of bottled water to the water station at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. Two weeks ago, we attended the book release. This is well-documented research, filled with colorful neighborhood maps attached to clear, easy-to-read analysis. Sure...

4910 Cecil St.: Up (and Down) the West Coast
http://4910cecilst.blogspot.com/2016/11/up-and-down-west-coast.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2016. Up (and Down) the West Coast. Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think? Some of our recent highlights. In Seattle, we had pizza with former Capo Valley Cougar cross country runner Mikaela Mulhull:. In Berkeley, we got a cam...

Sunday, January 1, 2017. 2016: A Fond Farewell. The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold?

Scrambling A New World In The Shell Of The Old. Thursday, April 24, 2014. 7 Points About Christian Love and Same-Sex Orientation. Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind. Although I have great respect for their commitment to taking the Bible seriously and to holding unpopular political and theological convictions, I'm deeply concerned about any stance towards our gay brothers and lesbian sisters that falls short of anything that is fully inclusive. Second, shouldn't the prim...

Easy Yolk: The Other Side
http://easyyolk.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-other-side.html
Scrambling A New World In The Shell Of The Old. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. A Sermon Preached on June 28, 2015 at First United Church of Christ, Richmond, Michigan. On Mark 5:21-43. When Martin Luther King came to suburban Gross Pointe, just across the eastern border of Detroit, he introduced his mostly white audience to “the Other America” which he described had “a daily ugliness about it that transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair.”. In Detroit: the other side of 8 Mile. The first tri...

Easy Yolk: May 2014
http://easyyolk.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Scrambling A New World In The Shell Of The Old. Thursday, May 29, 2014. The Future of Church. It is incumbent on the community of faith to discern and name the crisis and to distinguish, as clearly as it possibly can, between truth and error, even between life and death. Seasons of Faith and Conscience: Kairos, Confession, Liturgy. They have supposedly left or even how. We can get them to come back. Our time, energy and resources should be focused on how we ought to live. I write as a longtime follower o...

Scrambling A New World In The Shell Of The Old. Thursday, August 14, 2014. Proceeding From The Heart. A written homily on Matthew 15:10-28. My final post from Southern California:. We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. Letters and Papers From Prison. Religion gets messy and confusing when we become obsessed with our status. Grace, they kept assuring me. Jesus knew that humanity would never find real liberation from our s...

Scrambling A New World In The Shell Of The Old. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Long Overdue: A Comprehensive and Courageous Immigration Policy. Democracy can only be saved through non-violence, because democracy, so long as it is sustained by violence, cannot provide for or protect the weak. My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strongest. My House Representative, Rep. Darrell Issa (R) is the wealthiest member of Congress. But Issa's staffers insist that th...
