CRAIG A. PHILLIPS, PH.D.
The non-profit, A Faith that Does Justice, has published my essay on Tom Petty’s song, “Crawling Back to You,” that first appeared in a shorter version on my Substack page, https://craigphillips.substack.com, as “The Weekly Word.”
This revised contribution adds additional content relating the song to the Collect for the 8th Sunday after the Epiphany from the Book of Common Prayer.
The non-profit, “A Faith that Does Justice,” has published another contribution of mine as “The Weekly Word.” Beginning with the Confession of St. Peter, it maintains that Christians “discover who they are “by discovering who Jesus is.” And they “discover that the way to self-fulfillment in life is through self-denial. These paradoxes lie at the heart of the gospel.”

A Faith that Does Justice has published another contribution of mine as the “Weekly Word.” The article poses the question, why do the people of God often fail to appreciate, or even notice, God’s many blessings and be thankful for them?
I posted today on my childhood remembrances of the 1961 World Championship, New York, Yankees.
I also suggest ways that we can recognize the people in our daily lives that we can easily overlook.

The Boston non-profit, A Faith that Does Justice, has published another submission of mine. This meditation examines Jesus as the “Beloved Son” of God who as such faces a difficult life as did Isaac and Jacob who were also “beloved sons.” It connects this account with the Baptismal Covenant of the Episcopal Church in which a promise is made “to respect the dignity of every human being.” Please read more!

Today the non-profit. A Faith that Does Justice, published my newest contribution entitled, “Radical Hospitality.”
This reflection examines Christian hospitality through the Rule of Benedict. Based on Jesus’ teachings, it says, “Let all guests who arrive be received as Christ himself. He will say, ‘I came as a guest and you welcomed me.’”
