"Non-action in times such as these is not an option for a Christian ... we are invited by this prophecy to lighten the burdens of others." A sermon from Bishop Doyle at Trinity Episcopal Church, Marble Falls.
El sermón del obispo Doyle en St. James 'Austin, una iglesia históricamente negra que encarna la voz profética de Jesús: miremos al horizonte donde Dios se encuentra con nosotros, como lo han hecho generaciones antes.
Bishop Doyle's sermon at St. James' Austin, an historically Black church that embodies Jesus' prophetic voice: let us look to the horizon where God meets us, as generations have done before.
Jesus's kingdom is not run in a respectable way. It's an extravagant amount of grace, an extravagant and imprudent amount of hope.
When we truly grasp God's generosity and extravagance for ourselves, which looks completely like mismanagement to the rest of the world, we will see that God is for people; and so the follower of Christ becomes for people too, sharing the extravagance of grace and mercy with others.
A sermon preached for Church of the Holy Apostles, Katy.

A sermon about gut reactions, rooted in magical thinking - not so different from worshipping the marketplace gods in Paul’s time.
The truth is, the lesser stories are addictive and never enough.
God answers you and bids you hear, and see - the age of the marketplace gods has come to an end.

Imagine: exiled in Babylon for 70 years. What does it mean to return? There are multiple generations who only have stories of Israel; there are many ideas and many unknowns. They know they must leave behind them Babylon; change is before them, a new thing.
The new thing that God is doing.
Today, we stand on a precipice; we are looking into a changed world. The new thing must come. I invite you to hear God’s voice in the world around you. Yes, the wilderness is before you; but God is there with you.
Sermon originally delivered to the 2020 Colorado Clergy Conference.

We have a good word for the weary world, for the sick, for those who seek to heal, to those who care, to those who sit with the dying. A good word to the fearful and anxious even in a time of pandemic, of physical isolation from one another- even in this time of the coronavirus.

The cross is a banner on our darkest hills, signaling that the instrument of disgrace and death is now a beacon of hope - in the face of an unjust world filled with the vestiges of racism and white supremacy, truly filled with every kind of violence and suffering that we know. Jesus knows our suffering and comes as our shepherd.

We cannot begin to dismantle the institutional violence, nor much of the world’s evils, if we do not begin by re-embodying the Gospel.
Let me be clear. We will go nowhere if we do not begin by understanding that bodies and their dignity are to be protected by the community and the nation.

When we walk miles and miles with God, we reclaim our kinship with God, from whose heart we were shaped. We can no longer divide the human community into “friends” and “others,” and we discover rather quickly that there are no strangers or aliens in God’s country.

What can we learn from the Devil?
Jesus rejects all forms of dominion and power over one another than enrich individuals at the expense of the broader community. God rejects all religious, social, political power that demands total allegiance. And by this rejection, we are invited to reject such power as well - and entrust ourselves to God.

It’s good to have an intro rock anthem. My new fave right now is Sarah McLaughlin’s White Flag.
Anthems buttress us whatever others might do, if we feel alone, outnumbered, and we need a little something to encourage us forward.
But that is not what Ash Wednesday is about. We need to raise the white flag and be ready to put our hope in God.

We are often fooled into believing in different narratives. School, politics, Twitter, whatever. They buttress our own buffered selves, souls, and egos, reassuring us: "no, really, you are alone."
The Gospel offers something very different. God beckons us into God’s community - and invites us to imagine the grandeur of God and God’s hope for us.

No one can live perfectly - and that’s the point.
What we understand immediately is that we cannot possibly achieve these things without Jesus.
Not a community that has escaped from the world, but a community that is engaged in remaking itself for the sake of the world.

The church is not the sum of the people who call themselves Christian. The church is the sum of people who do these things:
Find in the world Christ and to join God there, pointing God out, revealing and living the narrative where God is the primary character. Perform acts of service; intervene in the world.

God as Christ Jesus literally enters the world and commands the fishermen to follow.
When churches become escapes and spiritual temples separated from the world, buffered from the goings on outside their doors, they are all too easily silenced by the principalities and powers of the world.
But Jesus will not let us go.

It's a radical notion in a world of unreality, with all manner of worldly opportunities to withdraw from each other:
We are not spiritual beings having a human experience - no, we are humans made of spirit and flesh, and we are meant for one another.

The Holy Spirit comes down then, on everybody. Peter’s friends are so astonished - what does all this mean? They come to understand. God’s Spirit falls upon whoever God’s Spirit wishes to fall upon. God loves even “these” people. Even “these” people. Just like that.
You and I don’t get to decide who God loves. God decides - just like that.

The Christ-child breaks in. Hope breaks in.
For even those who have their wages stolen, their dignity taken away, their lights and heat turned off, the evicted, the homeless, the poor, the rejected, the tormented - hope comes. Hope will come.
It is our presence as Christians in the lives of others that is the present-day icon of Christ’s love in the world. Today when we sit around hearth and home around our own common tables, or as we gather in warm churches and sing, or as we serve the poor, give blankets, sit with the sick and the dying, as we visit the lonely, or when we calm the fear of the anxious or reassure the depressed of God’s love for them and our love for them, when we give to those who cannot repay, those with no recompense - we are the hope that comes.
In fact, in serving, in making humanity our business, we find that they, those to whom we are sent, those to whom we go - that they represent Christ to us.
The season is the opportunity to enact the community that God imagines.
See with different eyes God, the world, and the people around us. The higher work, the profound work, is for us as Christians to see the hidden and invisible workers who gather around us every day, without us knowing names or faces. Just as God does.

God in Christ Jesus comes to us in the physical world of our everyday lives;
God comes to us in the person of others in the human fabric of life.
When the time comes, we will need to be ready;
for the God we believe in is not a god who dwells in our heads, or of our minds, or who inhabits words alone...
Matthew 24:36-44

Jesus has been undermining religious codes, undermining religious practices - and upsetting the injustice of the status quo. When those men he's made uncomfortable ask him a "gotcha" question about the Law, how does he answer?
He reminds us that God is of the living and for the living.

"This is not a story about humility, suggesting a new kind of holiness code. It is instead a rejection of holiness codes in their entirety, and a proposal of grace."
Proper 25c (Luke 18:9-14) : The parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
This is a sermon on Proper 23c. It is about the Leper returning and worshiping God. I used the story as a foil to talk about the secular frame and how returning to a transcendent God will help remind us of human value and unconditional love.
Sermon in Spanish on faith like a weed. Preached at San Francisco de Asis for Pentecost 22c.

Sermon for 20c preached at Epiphany Houston. Really liked the exegesis by Robert Farrar Capon.
This is a sermon preached at the Baylor Student Center. It is influenced by Henre de Lubac's notion that the God of history compels the Christian to collaborate rather than evade God's narrative and work in the world. This is based upon Proper 18C Luke 14:23-25.
The picture is of the face of God in Monty Python's Holy Grail - it was W.G. Grace - legendary "Father of Cricket" and physician who often treated the poor for free.

Text of Interview
This is a sermon preached at Good Shepherd, Kingwood, Tx, following the Mother Emmanuel AME church shootings by Dylan Roof (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/21/us/dylann-storm-roof-photos-website-charleston-church-shooting.html?_r=0).
It is based upon Mark 4 beginning at the 35 verse.
And, in some way tries to make sense about why we have a difficult time seeing this as an act of racism (despite Dylan's own clarity that it was an attempt to begin a "race war"). Why we want to make this about Christians. And, what we Christians might be able to do to open our eyes to the work that is before us.

This is the last week of our Bonhoeffer Book Study on the Christmas Sermons. What a delight it has been. I have enjoyed doing them and enjoyed our conversation! Blessings for a wonderful conclusion to your Advent and a joyous Christmastide!
This week we have the third installment of our 2012 Advent Book Study on Bonhoeffer's Christmas sermons. You can read along and listen to all three reflections. The fourth and final reflection will be posted prior to the 4th Sunday in Advent.

A number of individuals had conversations following the first Advent Book Study podcast about the death of Moses. I thought you might enjoy this little diversion from the reading of Bonhoeffer. I hope you enjoy.
This week in our Advent Book study we read together up to page 40 or the Berlin Years. The podcast is about 34 minutes. It covers the introduction, the sermon from Barcelona, and the sermon from Cuba. You can send questions via @texasbishop on twitter or c. andrew doyle on facebook. Next week we will read the next forty pages.
Advent Book Study
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christmas Sermons
I am inviting you to read along with me this Advent.
We are going to try something different and the plan is for me to lead a book study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Christmas Sermons ... during Advent this year.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote of Advent: "The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, who look forward to something greater to come. For these, it is enough to wait in humble fear until the Holy One himself comes down to us, God in the child in the manger. God comes. The Lord Jesus comes. Christmas comes. Christians rejoice!”
Each week participants will read a selection from the book. During the week you may post your reflections, comments, and questions below via facebook. Then I will post a podcast on Friday with my personal reflections on the material. We already have a good number of people participating and some congregations are doing the study together.
When the podcast is posted you will be able to get it from libsyn.com, itunes, or via epicenter.org. We will tweet and facebook update when the podcast is ready.
This week as we arrive at the first Sunday in Advent, December 2, 2012, we will read to page 40 or up to the Berlin years for those using Kindle or another reader.
The next week we will approach Advent 2 on December 9, and read from pages 41-81 or up to the London years.
As we approach Advent 3 on December 16, we will read pages 82-143 or up to the War Conspiracy. And, for the last week of Advent and December 23, we will begin at page 144 and finish the book.
I hope that people will read and send me questions or thoughts in the week previous to each podcasts so that I can respond to those comments in the reflections. I’m excited to see how this interaction works so that we can do additional studies together during Lent and at other times of the year.
I look forward to hearing from you!

This sermon was given at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Huntsville, Texas by the Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, 2010. It was on Luke's Gospel 16:14-31, Proper 21 of Ordinary Time.
Luke 16:14-31
The Law and the Kingdom of God 14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they ridiculed him. 15So he said to them, ‘You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of others; but God knows your hearts; for what is prized by human beings is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 ‘The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force.* 17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one stroke of a letter in the law to be dropped.

The Rich Man and Lazarus 19 ‘There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. 22The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. 24He called out, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.” 25But Abraham said, “Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony. 26Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.” 27He said, “Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house— 28for I have five brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.” 29Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.” 30He said, “No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.” 31He said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.” ’
