Surviving Liminal Space
This sermon was delivered at St. Michael’s and All Angels on Sunday, September 26, 2021. You can watch it here. I preached way longer than anticipated, but you know it’s ok. To say that it has been difficult to write this sermon is an understatement. While I am so grateful to my friend and pastorContinue reading “Surviving Liminal Space”

The revolution will not be televised, it will not be tweeted, it will not appear in an essay or be discussed and engaged. For the revolution of which I speak is beyond our imagination.
