Trinity Cathedral: Our Worship on Television?
http://trinitycathedral.blogspot.com/2011/10/our-worship-on-television.html
Monday, October 3, 2011. Our Worship on Television? Recently a parishioner wrote me asking if I'd thought about televising our Sunday worship so homebound parishioners could participate and feel more connected to Trinity. I thanked the person for their interest but replied, “No, and let me explain why.”. In a word the worship was very amateurish. I suspect local worship, as opposed to the professional multi-million dollar affairs put out by arena sized congregations, is one of those things best engag...

Trinity Cathedral: December 2010
http://trinitycathedral.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Last week I wrote about "Safe Space", my response to the Bishop's Warden's request for values I most wanted Trinity to embrace in a vision for our future. This week I want to share about my second response: Welcoming. Links to this post. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. This past week Trinity Chapter members were asked by the Bishop's Warden to list 3-5 essential values by which we currently live and on which Trinity could build an inspiring and exciting vision for the future....

Trinity Cathedral: February 2011
http://trinitycathedral.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. The above prayer is the Collect for the 7th Sunday after the Epiphany and is found on page 216 of the Book of Common Prayer. I love this prayer because it highlights love. What can we say of love? Any words on Love must begin with God. The scriptures declare, "This is love, not that we love God, but that God first loved us" (I John 4:10). Love begins and ends with God. In the Hebrew scrip. Tures "hesed" or "loving kindness" is a central virture. Links to this post. This past Su...

Trinity Cathedral: July 2011
http://trinitycathedral.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Be Ye Doers of the Word. In James 1:22 the bible says, ". but be doers of the word and not just hearers. This indicates that action in response to the teachings of Jesus is one indicator that a person understands the message. In John 13:35 Jesus is reported to have said, " By this will all people know that you are my disciples, that you love one another as I have loved you. Here love is the action that marks the disciple or student of Jesus. What is God calling us to be and do?

Trinity Cathedral: November 2010
http://trinitycathedral.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Sunday's scriptures pointed to the return of Jesus to be "judge" of the living and the dead. I mentioned early childhood events at ages 5 and 10 that contributed to my viewing the loving being of God through a lens of great fear associated with God's judgment. I named that we might benefit from speaking of judgment without fear. But, a better question might be, "Why the judgment at all? Links to this post. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. The Latin words that make up the term "hospi...

Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Deception: A Means of Grace? The pattern is also throughout creation. We like to point to creation as the handiwork of God. Well, that creation is filled with creatures who practice deceit to better enable themselves to hunt and avoid being eaten. In other words, deception is often employed to survive and especially if you face a stronger opponent. Rabbi Nilton Bonder, in Our Immoral Soul. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Trinity Cathedral: April 2011
http://trinitycathedral.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Reflections on Holy Week. These are my feelings and thoughts about Holy Week 2011 at Trinity Cathedral. I offer them with gratitude to God for what was for me a truly Holy Week. First, the reading of the Passion Narrative has over the past years become for me less and less a means of connection to the God-Human love story. I found Matthew's anti-Semetism (. His blood be on us and on our children"). Fourth, the Maundy Thursday overnight vigil was very meaningful to me. Others ...

Trinity Cathedral: In Honor Of My Mentor: Bruce McNab

Wednesday, June 29, 2011. In Honor Of My Mentor: Bruce McNab. Powell in recognition that I understood the gift given by God in my relationship to Bruce. This door is the doorway to the heart. It is not left open for priests only but for all whose hearts have been touched by Jesus who is both the Door and the one who knocks. This door is described by Sam Shoemaker in his poem I Stand By The Door (see here). Shalom, Greg Powell. June 30, 2011 at 6:38 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome. Thi...
