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.”
GOD’S GENEROSITY TO ALL
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?
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS AND OUR COVENANT WITH GOD AND ONE ANOTHER
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!
“COSTLY GRACE”
Today the non-profit. A Faith that Does Justice, published my newest contribution urging Christians (and my secular audience as well) “to speak up and act whenever we see racism and intolerance in the world around us, that is, whenever we see an affront to the dignity of any human person.”
I speak as a retired Episcopal priest and as a Professor of Religion, who has published numerous articles on migration, refugees, and asylum seekers.
REPOST: THE LOAF KEEPER OF ALL CREATION
The non-profit, A Faith that Does Justice,” has republished a widely read blogpost of mine from this site, “In These Times.” Here is the link to the repost:
THE SYNERGY BETWEEN FAITH AND ACTION
The non-profit, A Faith that does Justice, has just published my second contribution to their column, “The Weekly Word.” It focuses on the faith and actions of Abram/Abraham in the book of Genesis.
“ALL SAINTS DAY IS A CALL TO FAITH IN ACTION”
I am happy to announce that my mediation for All Saints Day appeared as “The Weekly Word” for the non-profit organization, A Faith that Does Justice.
A Faith That Does Justice is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need. Our vision is people intentionally living their faith in action.”
