Advent, like all seasons in the church calendar, is an invitation to a journey. We begin our Christian year in waiting. We do not begin with our own frenetic effort or energy . . . Instead, we begin in a place of longing and stillness: “O come,
My Sermon this past Sunday at Church of the Incarnation, expressed my continued reflection on the “Parables of The Future.” The future pulls us and shapes us. In the Christian view, the being of humans is bound up with the future to which we ar
I shared this homily today at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Orlando, on this 24th Sunday after Pentecost. My reflection is on the Parable of The Ten Bridesmaids, Matthew 25: 1-13. A story of entering every day, the reign of God. A story of the r
The gift of open doors and invitations to offer my vocation as a retired priest, are a treasure in my stage of life. This was true this past Sunday, having the joy of celebrating All Saints Sunday. The Feast of All Saints has deep meaning for m
It was my great privilege and honor to give the Burial Homily for Alex Robertson, son of my good friends Randy and Pat Robertson, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Winter Park, FL. It was there, when I served as Rector, that our paths crossed
It takes a great deal of courage to be a human being. Our journey through life as followers of Jesus is lived in the “now and the not yet” of a new unending kind of life. We have a transforming friendship with God here and now. There is a deep
“For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2We are in a sermon series on Romans during the summer at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Orlando. I have had the joy of filling in for t
It was a gift of grace to preach on the Feast of The Ascension. I am grateful to be serving Fr. Jonathan Turtle, Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, as a Retired Associate in the parish. I preach occasionally and hope to share my heart with
What is the basic direction and orientation of a truly human life? When St. Ignatius of Loyola had written his Spiritual Exercises, he added a short preface, a skeletal summary of the inner journey to be made through his Exercises. Later commen
He was one of my best and lifelong friends. I met Fr. Eric Ravndal III, and his wife Sarah, and their four kids (Chris, Beth, Eric III, and Mary) in 1977. I was just 24 years old. We were both entering Nashotah House Episcopal Seminary on our j
As I walk and live in this stage of my life, good friends and companions whom I have known and loved on this earthly pilgrimage are no longer here. Jane Nies was one of them and she is now in the fullness of eternity with God. I was privilege
“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” Beginnings and Endings. It is your ending and my ending that mark the beginning of this new season and that we remember on Ash Wednesday. The reality of our ending is always before us.
In the gospel reading for the third Sunday of Advent, the imprisoned John the Baptist asks the most heart-breaking question in the bible and asks it for all of us: ‘Are you the one … or must we wait for someone else? When this inquiry is conv
This is my homily from the Second Sunday of Advent at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Orlando, Florida at the 8:00 am service. I enjoy the quiet contemplative atmosphere of the first Eucharist of the day as it gives me a reflective approach to offe
Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Mary the Virgin, the principal feast of Mary in all branches of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church, and even in some Protestant churches as well. Considering that she is regarded as the greatest of
It was a gift today to serve as a Supply Priest at Christ The King Parish in Lakeland, Florida. We lived in Lakeland in 1981-1982 when I was serving as Assistant Rector of St. David’s Episcopal Church (sadly no longer a congregation). The Gos
I offer this meditation and prayer on the exquisite Hymn: Come Down O Love Divine, sung by Anglicans and Episcopalians around the world on Pentecost Sunday. The lyric was composed by Bianco de Sienna, Italy, in the 14th century. The tune is fr
I have just returned from a wonderful invitation to lead a Mens Retreat for The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew of The Diocese of Oklahoma. My very good friend Fr. David Bumstead, The Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Tulsa OK, also invited me
Jesus’s ultimate parable of the return of the Prodigal Son speaks truth at every part of our journey through life. Jesus himself is the “parable of God” who is aways revealing the heart of the Father. The heart of the Father is compassion a
My sermon today is taken from Philippians 4:4-7. It is a letter from jail to God’s people and it is saturated with joy. What helps me as I contemplate Paul’s advice to “rejoice always” is remembering that he writes his letter from prison, while
This past All Saints Sunday I had the gift of preaching on the meaning and healing power of the Communion of Saints, an article of the Christian Faith in The Apostles Creed. Yet, it is much more than a doctrine or theological commitment. It
I’m after a deep, authentic, and healthy Christian spirituality and life. It is my deepest longing. Spiritual formation and growth are my hearts desire. It has been my true north in parish ministry and my earthly pilgrimage. It still is. Ove
This is one of the most challenging of Jesus’s words to his apprentices on his way of crucified love. It is challenging because Jesus is insisting that his disciples take themselves seriously. Not literally, but really, really seriously. And he
In 1984, my twin brother and fellow priest, Rick Lord, recorded a contemporary worship album titled: “Bread for The Wilderness – Wine for The Journey.” It is collection of worship songs, light rock in style, from that era in the early 1980’s. T
It is very important to remember and to always keep before your mind this fact: You are an unceasing spiritual being, created for an intimate and transforming friendship with the creative Community that is the Trinity. On the Sixth Sunday of Ea
