Transfigured for Justice

I supplied at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque on August 9th. I used the lessons for the Feast of the Transfiguration, because they're too good to miss! Exodus 34:29-35, 2 Peter 1:13-21, and Luke 9:28-36

The Poor will be Raised up

I'm trying something new, and trying it out here. My job as the Executive Director of the New Mexico Conference of Churches means I don't preach every week. But I can't help thinking about what I would say about various lessons. So, I'm trying podcasting. I've thought about this for a long time. I'm not sure I've figured out what is worth posting and listening to, so expect a variety of things. Let me know if there's something you really like - I'll try to do more of it.

I hope to post conversations with people I like and admire. And I expect there will be a fair amount of politics. I'm doing this on my own time with my own resources. That means I'm free to say what I want, what I think needs to be said. Many preachers are shy about politics because they don't want to offend the people who pay their salary. Churches' tax exempt status means that they can't support particular political candidates or parties. I don't have either of those constraints, so look out!

My first attempt comes on August 15th, the Feast of St. Mary the Virgin. So here are a few thoughts. Be patient as I get better using the technology!
