From the archives: Ed Bacon's November 13, 2005 sermon preached in response to IRS allegations of campaign intervention because of an anti-war sermon preached on the eve of the 2004 election at All Saints Church in Pasadena.
During the IRS investigation All Saints Church adamantly maintained that preaching an anti-war, anti-poverty and pro-choice sermon was political but NOT partisan, and therefore not a violation of the IRS code. After two years the IRS dropped the case.

“God’s joyful invitation to us is literally to become as much as is humanly possible one with the other who is in pain. It is the love ethic of the marriage liturgy when we talk about the two becoming one flesh … that same kind of knowing … only God, the great polyamorist, models doing that as a community ethic that embraces all creation. Or at least trying to.
“When we hear each other’s cries that challenge our power and privilege, the way our joy becomes full is to have that same mind that is in Christ Jesus and not grasp onto our power and privilege but as much as possible putting ourselves in the shoes of the ones whose cries we hear.
“To live together. To hurt together. To heal together. To all be liberated … together…
“That’s the power of love.”

“Magdalene thought Jesus was the gardener … because Jesus was the gardener.
Think about it.
Why wouldn’t Jesus be the gardener? Isn’t it natural that the Jesus who was born as an Illegal migrant and quickly became a refugee should first appear as a day laborer?
But even Magdalene, who had been erased and dismissed and treated as a “just another woman” even just minutes before by the male disciples, fell into the trap of only looking for Jesus in a comfortable, familiar form. That’s how easy it is for all of us.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:15 a.m. on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“It’s OK to break free … as long as you don’t break too free. It’s OK to break free … as long as you don’t make people with power and money too uncomfortable. It’s OK to break free … as long as you stay respectable, don’t rock that boat too much, don’t challenge the purity cultures that divide and the etiquettes that bind. It’s OK to break free … but keep it down, would you? That’s the challenge. We want to break free … and we don’t want to be crucified. And yet what we have just witnessed is that one so often leads to the other.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10 a.m. on Palm Sunday, March 24, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“As a hospital chaplain, I have been asked to pray for the sick and those on the verge of death, but I have never witnessed a miracle like the ones recounted in the Gospel of Mark. But I have seen how the ripples of the small acts that we do with great love are miraculously multiplied by God’s Spirit and ripple outward from us in ever-expanding circles, spreading the inexhaustible light of God’s love to our neighbors both far and wide. The Dutch priest Henri Nouwen, a spiritual thinker and writer who wrote endlessly about the life of Jesus and the love of God observed that “the world likes things to be large, big, impressive, and elaborate. [But] God chooses the small things which are overlooked in the big world.” Sermon by Jonathan Stoner from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“You do not need to be afraid of yourself. You are free to question and explore. You deserve a healthy relationship with your body and you are worthy of the time, space and resources it takes to create that relationship. Pleasure is not a sin. Delight and pleasure are a beautiful part of being alive…. Our bodies are for honoring, not policing. We are queer followers of a queer Christ. And thank God for that.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 25, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Proverbs 28:20-25, Psalm 50:1-5 and Mark 7:1-15.

“I truly believe … God dreams for us to be a community that is unflinching in our quest for justice. A community that refuses to remain silent in the midst of horrendous evil, knowing that “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil… Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” A community that is as determined as ever not “to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice,” but “to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” A community that is as determined as ever to speak the truth to the powers that are oppressing and killing the people of God here and around the world in the same way that Gandhi spoke that truth to Hitler.And … a community that always begins those entreaties with the words “Dear friend.”” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“We are in an extended period of difficult change and deep loss. And it impacts all of us. So let me be the first to say it this morning. I am hurting.

“Epiphany is a revelation of wisdom. Of what to hold onto … and what to release. Of how to travel light, carrying only what we need to be free and releasing now what we now can let go. Breathing in and out.
Now, Gospel tells us they brought three gifts … gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Love is not the easy thing. The only baggage you can bring is all that you can’t leave behind.
Gold, frankincense and myrrh. That’s what the magi couldn’t leave behind. For Jesus, and for us. Because each one of these gifts holds a question … of what to hold onto and what to release.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on January 7, 2024 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“The love that binds us all together with one another and with God is the child in the manger, is the word of the Prophet Mohammed, praise be unto him, is the great light that still shines on those to whom Isaiah speaks who still live in exile and fear.
The hope of the world is in this room this night … right here, right now. Because tonight we gather at the manger – Jew, Muslim and Christian – believer and struggler – friend and foe – and we say with one voice that the love that is God that binds us together is stronger than the most powerful force that would tear us apart.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from the Festive Eucharist at 7:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“Be still and know that I am God.
Every little thing is going to be all right
Let it be.
These are calls for us to show up. To be people of hope in the midst of despair. To be people of love and reconciliation in the midst of hate and polarization.

To hold onto each other tightly, fiercely and lovingly.
To hold onto each other in trust that the love that binds us together can not only heal us but can heal the world.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Presentation Sunday, November 19, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“On this day and the days that follow, may we more fully become a community that does not join the world in fearing death and silencing grief … but embracing both death and grief as the gateway to healing and wholeness.
On this day and the days that follow may we hold each other in trusting or even trying to trust that far from hiding our tears, we can shout them and scream them because though our tears are a powerful word, they will never be the last word.
On this day and the days that follow, may we be people less of comfortable certainty than we are of awe and wonder. May we find love without possessiveness and life without fear of loss.
May we leave the cage behind and together dive into the fog.”

“Is our relationship with the wealth you have more about fear or more about joy? If you are experiencing any sort of poverty, what a difference would it make to be freed from that burden? Actually to “not be anxious about your life, what you all will eat or what you all will drink, or about your body, what you all will wear.” And if you are among those of us who are not, what a joy would it be to be a part of freeing each other from that? For all of us, whether what has us in our grip is wealth or debt, fear or anxiety, what would it be like to let go of that so we can embrace the God who is love and let that God who is love embrace and provide for us through one another?”

“While we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of this building today and while we will spend this year of commemoration, reflection and celebration telling wonderful and sometimes painful stories … what has made this space sacred and what continues to make this space sacred has nothing to do with the bricks and mortar and glass. It’s us. And a hundred years of people like us – sanctifying this space with our struggle. Sanctifying the space with our truths … even and especially when they might not agree. Sanctifying this space with our laughter and our tears. With our triumphs and our failures. With our living and with our dying.”

“In one of the most destabilizing times in our history as a church, when that destabilization is driving so many to the poles of fundamentalism … both liberal and conservative … we are here trying to do what to the rest of the world is increasingly bizarre. Lean into nuance and complexity, weakness and vulnerability, grace and humanity. We are trying to look at those the world would have us other and instead of saying “what is wrong with you” ask “what happened to you” … all the while … and this is the really hard part …trying to be as honest as we can about what has happened to each and all of us … and not to let our own internal Greek choruses of “what is wrong with you” grip us in fear and self-doubt.”

*“There is no question that today we are in a belonging crisis. When you understand that love, belonging, and worthiness, are something you are born into, not something you have earn, anything is possible.
We must equip ourselves to bridge the polarization as we offer a story of common goodness and connection that asserts our capacity, with God’s help, to share power, and does not dominate or dishonor difference.”*

“It is time for a new Declaration of Independence. It is time to fling open the doors of every cage and let every bird take flight. Abolition is faithful and patriotic and both our founding document and our Gospel call us to overthrow any system or government that does not live up to the high standard of liberty and justice for all. And while that requires individual commitment by each of us it also requires recognizing that we will only get free if we extend the same agape love to each other that we long for ourselves. That we will only get free when the caged bird’s song comes from all of our lips.”
Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Independence Sunday, July 2, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“‘...If you've ever been told, or treated, like you have the wrong kind of body – especially if you've heard it so much that you've begun to tell it to yourself, God says to you, "Me, too. I have the wrong kind of body, too. I chose it so I could be like you. So that you would know in your wrong kind of body, that you'll never be alone’.
Because when God became human, they made for themselves the wrong kind of body. God could've chosen for themselves a Roman body, the body of a colonizing people. But they chose for themselves a Jewish body, the body of a people of a stolen land. God could've chosen for themselves a body born into wealth, but they chose a body born into poverty. God could've chosen for themselves a body of celebrity born into celebrity, but they chose a body conceived out of wedlock to a couple nobody ever heard of.
Other people might look at you and think ‘You might look at yourself in the mirror and think that you've got the wrong kind of body,’ but God looks at your body and thinks, ‘This is exactly the right kind of body for my spirit to dwell in.’””
Sermon by Jonathan Quinn from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 25, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: I Samuel 1:1-6, 9-18, Psalm 113, and Matthew 15:21-28. Watch the sermon on YouTube.

“And so, if church is the place we go for healing – as it should be -- the temptation is for us to be hyper aware of our own pain and woundedness and less aware … or even unaware of others’. That doesn’t make us unfeeling or bad people. It’s literally how we are wired. …And … that’s not Pentecost.
Because there is another piece of our relationship between pain and empathy … and that is when we have been through pain, as we are able to heal from it, it increases our ability to empathize with the pain of others and be part of their healing.
That is the dream of Pentecost. And that is the dream of the Beloved Community God is gathering here at All Saints Church.”

“So this morning, I’m not asking you if you have the answers … I’m asking you “can you hear the music?” I’m not asking you “do you believe in the resurrection?”
I’m asking you “Are you ready to join the movement?”
This morning, I’m not asking you to subscribe to some false idea of worthiness through purity. That way only leads to judgment and death. And we have had way too much of that.
No … what I’m saying this morning is Can you hear the music? Are you ready to join the movement? Because what I’m saying this morning is…

Don’t sleep on angry, sick and tired black women. Don’t sleep on LGBTQIA folks who are never going back into those closets unless it’s to pull out something fabulous for their next drag show. Don’t sleep on children and teens creating the movements that will reform gun culture in America and move the needle on human made ecological carelessness and catastrophe. Don’t sleep on the mama bears of trans children. And if you are awake, why don’t you join us. There’s a long day’s work ahead and miles to go before we sleep.”

“God is doing new things. Amazing things. Healing things. Challenging things. Transformational things right here, right now, through us and through you.
We walk with a revolutionary Jesus … and he ain’t lounging around in his PJs. He is headed down that mountain and we get to follow him, heal and be healed, change and be changed, love and be loved.
These are strange days, All Saints Church … but what else is new. And when the days get strange, the Church suits up. And the call of Christ is always the same.
Come back!
Come out!
Come on!"

“Jesus is not the one who has healed the sick person. Jesus never said: ‘I healed you.’
Jesus is not even saying, at least not explicitly, that the person was healed by God.
‘Your faith has healed you,’ he says."

“But the greatest injustice is about who disproportionately goes to the grave, and when, and why, and how, and who gets to live while others are left to die? So yes! Jesus gets extreme and says "If I have to stop a funeral, then we'll just stop the funeral, because there's a future that needs creating, and it's not subject to negotiation. Beloved, there is a future that needs creating..."

“On this celebration of the Lunar New Year, let us recall our own identity as fishers for people, especially those among us who are Asian or Asian-American. We here are all immigrants or descendants in some way. We here, and our ancestors, came from nations very far away. We come here, to this table, in our rich diversity, to celebrate Jesus, who called each one of us by name, to follow him and to be like him. Because we were all once foreigners or descendants of foreigners, we are called to welcome the foreigner.”

“When we are secure in our belovedness, we don’t need to hide our wounds because we know that there is no wound that love cannot eventually heal. When we are secure in our belovedness, we don’t need to broadcast our wounds so people will see us because we already know that we are seen and that we are loved. When we are secure in our belovedness, we can share our wounds without needing to center our wounds.”

“God is for us and was made present among us in the Word made flesh in order to convince us that we are safe because we are loved by God.

“The Christ looks at a travel warning and says “Hell, no!” These are my people. And nobody is going to tell me that I can’t go be with my people, where they are, as they are. That’s what tonight is about. And that’s why when that baby Jesus (smack hands) hit the atmosphere, you can bet he cried, because… Damn.
Human life is hard. Human life is messy. And Jesus was not and is not immune to the hardness and the messiness. The hardness and the messiness is where Jesus eats his lunch.
That’s what tonight is about. About a God who doesn’t give a DAMN about travel warnings. And that’s important. That’s important because every one of us … every one of our lives … when we dig deep and get down to it … has a travel warning.”

“Nothing in our lives is more consequential than the notion of God we hold. To me, this is where the story of Jesus’ birth just blows my mind. The good news of this night—and my friends it is great news—is that God loves things by being in all things. God loved us by becoming one of us. God’s answer to violence and domination was to become a tiny baby—born of a woman. Baby at the breast, totally dependent on the love around him for survival.
God loves vulnerability.”

“Pharaoh never went away, he alive and well. He just changed his avatar and paid $8 for a blue checkmark. Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.
And the way to stand against Pharaoh. The way to soften Pharaoh’s heart. The way to not just liberate the enslaved but overthrow the whole system. It is that little individual act of revolution. It starts with saying three little words.
Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh
That is the revolution. That is the dream. That is the joy. Everyone being who they are and who they are becoming.”

Check out Chase's meditation at our Day After the Election Noonday Eucharist this afternoon. A Word so fitting for today!
"Don't we find Jesus in a similar situation today? Doesn't it seem that we find Jesus seemingly caught today? Caught between religious and political leaders who are offended and threatened by the true prophetic witness of Jesus, so they seek to silence Jesus and get him up out of the way? But because of his popularity, they know they can't dismiss him outright so they seek to trap and co-opt his message and entire existence."
A meditation by Mark Chase at All Saints Church, Pasadena, in a special Noon Eucharist on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, where we gathered to pray in community on the day after the midterm elections. Readings: Isaiah 26:1-8, Psalm 47 and Mark 12:13-17a. Watch the video on YouTube.

“What does giving look like for us … not just to All Saints but in every area of our life … that comes from a deep desire not to be enslaved anymore by fear … that comes from a deep desire to rejoice and dance … a deep desire to be a part of a community that builds up and plants … a deep desire for a revival of grace and joy not just in this church but in our hearts. A deep desire to trust that it really is true that God provides. The dream is that we will not give until it hurts but we will give until we giggle because we will know that we have each other and God has all of us and so there is no lack we need to fear.”

“The Dodgers and the city have still never apologized to the residents of Palo Verde, La Loma and Bishop. There have been no reparations paid. If there is to be true reconciliation those things must happen.
And … Dodger Stadium is a place where we are imagining a new story of who we can be together as a city. Where even for a few hours what binds us together is greater than what might divide us. It’s why we wear Blue this Sunday.
It's all about the stories. Telling not just part of them but, as Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows says and as we are doing with our teams looking at our stained glass windows and the land this church sits on … telling the whole story so together we can write a new story.
The story of the Dodgers is our story. Not because we are Dodger fans or even because we are Angelinos … but because our stories are stories of being conqueror and conquered. Our stories are stories of being abandoned and embraced. Our stories are stories of being driven away from who and what is precious to us .. and finding new homes where amazing things happen.”

“There is a seductive power to the ability to do great things. Especially great things that do great good. The seduction comes when we believe the saving, healing, transforming power comes from us and is ours to give … and to withhold. It is a prison because it perpetuates the economy of the world -- an economy of haves and have nots … and that is a prison wherever we fall on that spectrum. It is a prison to have nothing and be at the mercy of those who have it all. And yet it is also a prison to have so much and to believe that our worthiness and lovability only comes from how hard we work to help and heal those who have less. It is a prison to believe that we are the saviors.”

“To affirm the revolution we mark on this Independence Day weekend is to declare our own Independence from Toxic Patriarchalism and to raise our voices as people of faith -- offering a rebuttal to those who have hijacked the Good News of God's inclusive love proclaimed by the radical rabbi from Nazareth and turned a Christian Nationalist weapon of mass discrimination deployed against anyone who looks, believes, loves, identifies or votes differently than they do.”

“And then there is the river. I am convinced that river is what I touched that night at that Wall.
It is the river of pain and love.
It is the river of all the children’s cries.
It is the river of the arms that ache to hug just one more time.
It is the river of the lives that should have been.
It is the river flowing over a way that with tears has been watered.
It is the river through which we have come treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered.
It is the river of all our efforts that seem like they amounted to nothing.
The river of all the sweat poured out of us as we cried, “how long, O Lord?”
It is the river that feeds the tree with leaves of healing.
It is the river from which all creation drinks … the river in whose water the divine stands and says, “Come.” Everyone who hears it answers, “Come.”
The river of tears and love to which everyone gives and from which everyone drinks and in which everyone – no exceptions, no exclusions, no ifs, ands or buts, - the river in which everyone’s pain is received and baptized in the infinite healing love of God…”

“Many of us have been shaped to believe that our mistakes make us disappointing … or incompetent ... or even bad people….But when we laugh at our mistakes … or “different choices” … the laughter opens us up not only to forgiving ourselves, to loving ourselves … but to learning … and growing. I was thinking about this last fall when a friend of mine asked me to be on his podcast and talk about my biggest leadership mistakes. And I want to share them with you this morning … because they happened right here.”

“My first truth that sets my heart on fire this morning is Cancer sucks. And my second truth that set my heart on fire this morning is: Abortion is healthcare. And healthcare is a human right. And then there is the third truth. And this is not a truth that I say with anger. It sets my heart on fire not with anger but with hope. It sets my heart on fire not with rage but with love. And that truth is: “Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith you are welcome to come to Christ’s table.”

“This morning, we have gathered and sung glorious songs proclaiming the day of resurrection … told the story of the women coming to the empty tomb … and I know I am expected – well, maybe not as much here at All Saints, but still on some level expected to stand here in this pulpit and preach a sermon about the resurrection with all the conviction of a true believer that nearly 2,000 years ago this absolutely actually happened. It’s kind of the preacher’s gig this morning. Except I can’t do that. Because the truth is when it comes to the resurrection … whether it actually physically happened … here’s my truth. I. Don’t. Know. “

“Jesus said, “I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the very stones would shout out.” And then in my sanctified imagination, I believe Jesus turned to the crowd and sang, two thousand years before it hit the charts. ‘Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I’m talking to you, come on’
We wave palms today not because they make dandy decorations but because we are re-enacting a moment where the people decided they were tired of being told what they could and could not say in church. Because the people looked around at a world turned upside down and decided it was long past time to shout out all those things that we can do without. All those things that imprison instead of liberate. All those things that wound instead of heal. All those things that hate instead of love. All those things that convince us that there are pieces of ourselves that God does not want to see instead of singing and dancing with joy at a God who goes to bed at night dreaming about us and giggling to herself with joy about how much she loves us.”

“We get to be the generation that says we are ready to claim the Gospel mission of radical reconciliation.

“We are hanging onto this world like it is something we like. We are hanging onto this world like it was something we need. We are hanging onto this world like we have no other choice. And it’s not that we have run out of alternatives, it’s just that we have been beaten into a poverty of imagination. A poverty of faith. A poverty of the power of Once Upon a Time. And so, Jesus gets us back on track. Jesus activates our holy imagination. Jesus says 'Story, Story' … and the people cry “Story” and gather around. Jesus says, 'Once upon a time.'”

“So, some temptations may be so culturally conditioned that they need to be named as not temptations to something bad at all. Others truly are harmful to ourselves and others … and .. they are still not referenda on who we are and our worthiness and lovability. They are signs of a deeper hunger that can be sated, a deeper bondage from which we can be free. And our task – together … always together … is to attend to them so we can get to the wound that really needs to be treated, the hole in our heart that really needs to be filled.”

“This gift of the epiphany that there is a disjuncture between our outward and inward selves that doesn’t have to be this way, and the witness of the courage it takes not only to name but claim our truest identity, to love that truest identity, fully to live into that truest identity is part of the deep gift those among us who are transgender have for the rest of this body. Why those among us who are transgender are indispensable to the body of Christ, with a life and witness indispensable to each and all of our liberation.
Those among us who are trans are uniquely equipped to be the gathered community’s Sherpas on this courageous journey of rejecting all that the world tells us we are and claiming all that God knows that we are. The courageous journey of confounding expectations and shedding shackles that comes from singing the answer to the question
Who. Are. You?”

“The story of Epiphany is not a conversion story… This is a story of different cultures and faith traditions honoring each other by offering the best of what they have to the other and accepting it with grace and humility. The story does not seek to deny or resolve any of the complexity of a multicultural, multifaith world. To impose a false sense of security through certainty and dominance. The visitors return to their land to continue as they were, and Jesus is left to grow up as he is … and yet what is different is a bond of respect, honor and love. The kind of bond that is the clarion call of beloved community and the death knell of Empires.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, January 9, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

“We are living in the backlash. And the message of all these backlashes is clear – be afraid. Shut your mouth. Don’t name the addictions. Don’t speak the truths that liberate. Certainly, don’t talk about leading a revolution. Because if you do, we will bring the hurt for you … and we know you are already hurting plenty already. It is an effective strategy. It has been used to keep oppression in place. It has been used to preserve addictive systems for thousands of years. And … we gather on this fourth Sunday of Advent to say … NO MORE.”

She guides us into a God who would enter human life. She is showing us the future.

“If God’s love. If God’s grace. If God’s forgiveness has to be earned … then we have power over God. By our action or inaction, we can tell God who to love. We can tell God who to forgive. But that’s not who God is. God simply loves everyone … there are no books that have to balanced, there is no system that can be gamed. We don’t have to earn forgiveness… You. Are. Forgiven.”

“Just as we have moved from enslavement to mass incarceration, we have moved from crucifixion to lynching to extrajudicial executions by police and vigilante enforcement of white supremacy.
After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same.
After changes, we are more or less the same.
The court told us what we already knew. The world is not safe if you have black or brown skin. Expect no police officer to spare you. Expect no court to protect you. This is state-sponsored and state-sanctioned terrorism. It has an ancient history. They used it against Armoni, Meshibosheph and Jesus and they are using it today. It’s been three thousand years since Rizpah kept her lonely vigil on that hill and bent a king to her will. Her body has long since gone down to the dust … and yet she is the mother of movements and she calls to us still.”

“The revolutionary Jesus I know dances on tables with her heels in her hand and stumbles back home as the sun creeps over the horizon. The revolutionary Jesus I know dances furiously, seductively, with abandon, with joy. The revolutionary Jesus I know knows the feelings that come with dancing and that come from watching each other dance can be scary because they are so powerful … and that is precisely why they are holy.
When was the last time you danced? Has it been hours? Days? Months? Years? Has it been too long? Are you ready to dance again?”

“Wendell Berry was right. We are those wild geese. Generation upon generation upon generation endlessly flying beyond the sight of any one person or point in time. Abandon, as in love or sleep, holds us to our way – clear in the ancient faith. And what is that ancient faith? That what we need is here. That God our creator is also God our provider. That God’s Holy Spirit is not just a theological concept but the power, the living love that binds us together and lifts us up. That those who die are not lost. They have just peeled off and are flying out of sight of we who are looking forward. There the beat of their wings is still lifting us, and we are lifting them. That love not only heals … love connects … love lifts … love propels us forward together.”

“Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Are you hurting? Are you tired? Oh my God, thank you for asking. I still might be afraid to give you my real answer. But at least you are opening the door. At least you are giving me the opportunity. At least you are giving truth a chance, to take her first breath, to make her first cry. And Jesus knows the answer before we can open our mouths. It’s why he asks the question. Jesus is setting a table in the wilderness and saying, ‘if anyone thirsts, come to me and drink.’ And even before we can give our yes, Jesus also knows how afraid we can be to give us. And so even before we can give our yes, Jesus doesn’t call us weak, he doesn’t tell us to get over it and … he doesn’t make it all go away. Jesus asks the question and then says ‘Come here. Don’t be afraid. Come here. Your vulnerability is your strength. Come here … let me kiss it and make it better.’”

“My entire life, I have been searching for that space behind my mother’s chair … and I wonder if you have been, too. That safe place I can squeeze into not with someone who is perfect, but with others who struggle as I do, as we all do, with balancing the hope that we are loved and safe with the reality of all the times we have not been. In whispers being able to have the conversations we do not yet have the courage or perhaps even the vocabulary to have in the rest of the world. Trusting that if we cross boundaries, a gentle growl will let us know … but even then, we know we need not fear because grace, trust and love are strong enough.”

“I wonder … what would Bathsheba’s telling of the story look like? I can scarcely imagine … and yet I know there are those among us here who can imagine only too well. Who have your own stories of violation and imprisonment, abuse and rape. Of being told you are responsible for men’s actions because of how you look or act or dress. Of being judged if your body is unappealing to a man and being told you were assaulted because it was too appealing. Of having even that most sacred of moments, you alone in the bath, violated because there is nowhere you can escape the memory, the fear, the voices that lie and say maybe the people who are telling you it was your fault … are right.”

“A Jesus who weeps. A Jesus who calls us out of our hiding places. A Jesus who says, “I am going to meet you where you are” “I am going to stay with you tonight” is a Jesus who stands among us and tells us that grieving, that weeping is definitely about vulnerability and it isn’t a sign of weakness or lack of faith but of strength an love. That grieving, that weeping is about being truly human and about being deeply moved by the genuinely hard and even tragic things that happen to all of us in life. About letting something touch us deep inside on those days when it feels like the music has died.”

“Y es así, que después del domingo doce de septiembre, ya no tendremos un servicio religioso a la una de la tarde en la Iglesia de Todos los Santos… Y... seguiremos soñando con un nuevo y emocionante futuro... y espero que seas parte de ese sueño. Soñaremos con una nueva oportunidad de reunirnos para el servicio religioso en español. Soñaremos con nuevos maneras para que los miembros latinos-hispanos de esta congregación reclamen el poder que es legítimamente suyo en el servicio religioso y en la vida de la iglesia. Soñaremos en grande y soñaremos juntos.”

“We cannot let the memory of the way things used to be become our God. Because if we do, we will become enslaved to its production, we will never heal and we will never be free. This is one of those moments where we have to break the rules. Where we have to let go of the expectations. This is one of those moments where we have to realize the rules and expectations are holding us in fear rather than setting us free.

“We don’t know how Salome discovered that she could use her sexuality to get power … but she did. And maybe she enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with enjoying your sexuality … even though she also lived in a world that saw her sexuality as not for her but for the gaze and use of men. So, maybe she would have made that choice anyway. But the point is if she wanted to have power, she had basically no alternative. The role society had for her was to be used for the sexual pleasure of men … so she took that role and used it. She learned to dance. “

“What Jesus is talking about is the church – and people like me who stand in places like this -- using scripture to control and cast out rather than to liberate and embrace. What Jesus is talking about is the church using our power to define righteousness to prioritize our institutional survival over the actual living out of the love that is the whole reason for the church’s existence.“

"This is a moment when we can make different choices. In some ways we are the same All Saints we have always been, and in other ways, we are a different All Saints Church than we were 67 weeks ago. And so as eager as we are to return to this space and to return to the comfort of the way things were in hopes that we can put the trauma of the past 15 months behind us … I am going to ask us once again: Can we just take a moment? Sometimes we just need to take a moment - and probably more than just a moment - … and look around … and realize where we are … and remember where we have been. Can we just take a moment … and probably more than a moment … and answer the invitation Rabbi Sharon Brous offered to us earlier this month to consider “what is the new world that we are called to imagine together?”

“What is radical about the inclusion to which we aspire is not just that everyone is invited to this table but that everyone has equal claim to the power of this table. Equal opportunity to shape what happens at this table. Jesus was a revolutionary … Jesus was scandalous because he not only invited everyone to the table … he made space for those who were most marginalized in the community to set the agenda. Jesus was a revolutionary because he understood it wasn’t enough just to allow others a seat at a table you dominate, you have to explode the whole idea of dominance.”
“Lo que es radical de la inclusión a la que aspiramos, no es sólo que todos sean invitados a esta mesa, sino que todos tengan el mismo derecho del poder de esta mesa. Igualdad de oportunidades para dar forma a lo que sucede en esta mesa. Jesús fue un revolucionario... Jesús fue escandaloso porque no sólo invitaba a todos a la mesa... él hizo espacio para que los más marginados de la comunidad establecieran la agenda. Jesús fue un revolucionario porque entendía que no fue suficiente sólo permitir que los demás se sentaran en una mesa que tú dominas, tú tienes que explotar la idea completa del dominio.”
彻底的包容又是什么？我们受激励的包容不紧紧是邀请每一个人到圣坛来，而是每一个人在圣坛上都有同等的权利。在圣坛上彼此都有同等的机会。耶稣是革命性的：世人觉得他天理难容，是因为他不仅邀请每个人来到圣坛，而且去给容纳在社区中最被边缘化的人来创造空间，让他们来制定议程。耶稣是革命性的，因为他认为让别人在你主导的圣桌上有一席之地的不够的，你必须要推翻整个的支配主导意识。

“To know Jesus to be the way, the truth, and the life, and to steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life – to be people of the resurrection – is to work to make God’s love tangible whenever and wherever we can.

“Coming to a faith community for the first time can be incredibly intimidating, especially if you are coming by yourself, especially if you have tried before and been wounded., especially if healing and love is what you are looking for … so much so that you are willing to risk making yourself vulnerable in hopes that you might find it…. Churches, synagogues, temples, communities that historically have been looked to to define righteousness and morality, who God is and on whom God smiles have a track record with that sacred trust of people’s hearts, lives and identity that is uneven at best and horrific at worst. James Cone wrote, ‘The cross can heal and hurt; it can be empowering and liberating but also enslaving and oppressive.’ … and so it is with the church… And when you walk into a community of faith, or even if you’ve been part of one for a long time, it truly can be like a game of Russian Roulette where far more of the chambers are full than we like to admit.”

“Incluso como iglesia, vivimos con el miedo que genera el sistema de esclavos. Como iglesia, nos hemos convertido en un proveedor de bienes y servicios religiosos ... y tememos no producir lo suficiente porque tememos que la gente se vaya y se lleve sus promesas financieras con ellos. No es el modelo de una iglesia fiel, es un modelo de negocios que ve los bienes más elevados no como un crecimiento humano sino como un crecimiento numérico y la trinidad impía de asistencia, edificios y dinero en efectivo. Y Dios nos está mirando. Y Dios no está diciendo "Recuerda que fuiste un esclavo". Dios está diciendo, "Te has convertido en un esclavo." Tú has vuelto a la esclavitud de la que te rescaté.”
“Even as a church, we live in the fear that the slave system generates. As a church, we have become a provider of religious goods and services … and we fear not producing enough because we fear people leaving and taking their pledges with them. It is not the model of a faithful church, it is a business model that sees the highest goods not as human thriving but of numerical growth and the unholy trinity of attendance, buildings and cash. And God is looking at us. And God is not saying “Remember that you were a slave.” God is saying, “You have become a slave.” You have returned to the bondage from which I rescued you.”

“What if in every relationship in our lives, we recognized that we are bound together by sacred vows. That we would not embrace each other more if we are doing better, or richer or healthier and we would not discard each other when things got worse, or we lost everything, or became sick. What if every person we encountered, every relationship we had, we looked at the other and said “I will love and cherish you, until we are parted by death.” It sounds both wonderful and impossible. It sounds life-giving and, frankly, more than a little exhausting … until I remember that what this would mean is not only me having to care for every person this way … but every single person caring for me this way, too.”

“Easter is meaningless without its context. And its context is our lives … not just the life we let people see but the life we try to hide. Its context is what we carry … who we carry on our heart day after day after day.
And so, before we rejoice.
Before we go and tell
Before we can be healed
We have to pass by the angels.
We have to pass by Jesus.
Before we can rejoice,
Before we can go and tell
Before we can be healed, we have to answer the question
Why. Do. You. Weep?”

“If forgiveness truly is nothing but the empty shell that demands everything of the victim but nothing of the perpetrator. If forgiveness truly is nothing but the swallowing of the pain and the suppressing of the truth, then it is certainly worthy of discarding. And yet, if we take forgiveness away from justice, all that is left is vengeance. And more and more, that is the choice that is set before us. Forgiveness without accountability …or vengeance without grace. And each is soul-killing in its dehumanization for victim and perpetrator; for judge, jury and accused. And so, we return to that core question of the cross … what would Jesus do … and in fact what is Jesus doing when he says these words? What is the justice of God? It cannot be either option. For the justice of God, the way of the cross, is not mimicking the cross in either its suppression of truth through fear …or vengeance which we anoint ourselves to execute on God’s behalf. The justice of God, the holiness of God demands both accountability and mercy, reparation and forgiveness.”

"Loving religion instead of Jesus has been one of the ways the church has denied Jesus over and over and over again as surely as Peter denied Jesus in the courtyard of the high priest as the cock crowed the third time ... and in this time of COVID-19 we have instead chosen to re-imagine religion because of Jesus."

“The Hebrew word Hineini indicates that a person is showing up with the fullness of who they are to respond. To be spiritually present. Ayeka? Hineini! In those moments when we have missed the mark, and no longer recognize our actions as being reflections of the values that we espouse, it is time to show up. To proclaim: Hineini! Here I am. Ready to do the hard work of introspection.”

“¡La lucha es real!” era su manera de reconocer con ironía las dificultades de la vida, y, con una sonrisa, invitarlos a otros a unirse a su experiencia. Ubicando la risa en medio del sufrimiento, ella encontró una manera de hacer menos agobiantes circunstancias que eran super agobiantes. Como solía decir Fred Rodgers, “Toda experiencia humana es mencionable, y todo que es mencionable puede ser más manejable.”
“The struggle is real” was her way to wryly recognize life’s hardships, and, with a smile, to invite others to join her in the experience.Locating laughter smack dab in the middle of suffering, she found a way to make incredibly overwhelming circumstances a little less overwhelming.

“For millennia, we as the Church have cultivated, amplified and internalized a culture of purity instead of holiness that has left women shamed and blamed, subjugated and closeted. This must be said … and we must look at what restorative justice looks like in the face of millennia of the Church literally appropriating the voice of God to tell God’s beloved children they are less than and shameful. We cannot just acknowledge briefly and move on, because as Representative Alexandria Occasio-Cortez said this week: “What they are asking for when they say ‘Can we just move on’ … what they are asking is ‘Can we just forget this happened so I can do it again without recourse?’” What we need is a revolution. A revolution of love that overturns the tables of purity and invites us to embrace the holiness of our bodies, the holiness of our longings and desires, the holiness that does not isolate but brings us together in love.”

"The longtime Rabbi-in-residence of All Saints Church, Reverend Regas's partner and friend, Rabbi Leonard Beerman, of blessed memory, said it this way: 'Yes, there are always enemies of hope all around us, and in us. But there are also allies everywhere. There is a lot of love out there. There is, in truth, in every one of us, a coercion to love.’ Feel it. Feel it. It cannot be stifled. Amen."

“It is good and right and necessary for us to pause in this moment and breathe … and let this vision of tomorrow wash over us and flow through us. To let it strengthen our weary bones and calm our anxious hearts. And … we need to remember that though it is good and right that we rest for a time, that dreams do not become reality by themselves. Because Amanda did not stop there. Because it is not enough to have the vision. It is not enough to say I have a dream. We have been here before. We have to wake up, and with that vision on our hearts, tell the whole story and then write a new one.“

“This brief Gospel reading is a Master Class in how the world and the church have treated women to this very day. Stripped of her name. Identified only by her relationship to a man. Used as a prop in a story told about a man, by men and for men. And when it is all done, simply noted that she got back to work.”
“Esta breve lectura del Evangelio es una clase magistral en la forma en que el mundo y la iglesia han tratado a las mujeres hasta el día de hoy. Despojándolas de su nombre. Identificadas sólo por su relación con un hombre. Usadas como soporte en una historia contada sobre un hombre, por los hombres y para los hombres. Y cuando todo está hecho, simplemente señaló que ella volvió al trabajo.”

"Now it's interesting when it says 'Love your enemies' in the text that 'love your enemy' is not necessarily excusing them. It does acknowledge that there are enemies. There are those who shall oppose us in such a way that we feel as though we must go to war. And another piece about this text that is interesting to me is the way in which -- because I said earlier it says 'love your enemies' and then it says 'turn the other cheek' -- that's in there too, and oftentimes is used as a way to justify women being subjected to the arbitrary violence of men, workers to be subjected to certain kinds of abuse, as though that articulates some deep form of Christian authenticity. But the great Walter Wink reminds us in his book "Jesus as a Human," he reminds us that in that era if you slapped someone who you considered an underling you would use your backhand. And so if you turned your other cheek that meant someone had to slap you with an open hand, and that was a sign that you were their peer."

“The ‘othering’ of human siblings is as old as the prophets and as new as whatever social media platform they’re cooking up to replace Twitter.

“The light shines in the bleakness, and the bleakness did not overtake it. There are no right words to make it better. There is no practice, medication or maxim that will bring us back what we have lost. There is no practice, medication or maxim that will bring us back what we have lost. There is no timetable for grief except that which emerges from the one who is grieving. There is only the light of Christ … in each of us and on each of us. And the promise that even though we each will die, the light never will.
Esta luz brilla en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no han podido apagarla. No hay palabras correctas para hacelo mejor. No hay práctica, medicación o máxima que nos traiga de vuelta lo que hemos perdido. No hay un calendario para el dolor o el duelo, excepto el que surge de quien está de luto. Sólo está la luz de Cristo... en cada uno de nosotros y sobre cada uno de nosotros. Y la promesa de que aunque cada uno de nosotros muera, la luz nunca lo hará.”

“There are powers beyond our comprehension and manipulation. Powers that meet us in our moments of greatest vulnerability. Powers that we are facing this morning as we bid farewell to George and begin to face a life without his presence here on earth. There are powers beyond our comprehension and manipulation … and our response to those powers is to try to trust in them, to be humbled by them and … to bare our hearts and souls to them – crying out that which is our deepest pain and desire. Not because we believe God and these powers can be lobbied … but because we are trying to trust that whatever happens, the God who was in the beginning is with us still. Because we are trying to trust that, whatever happens, the love that is God is the most powerful force for healing in the universe. Because we are trying to trust that, whatever happens, even death cannot separate us from one another because are always joined together under that infinite canopy of stars, sheltered in the hollow of God’s hand.”

“We know that nothing magical will happen at midnight when 2020 clicks over to 2021. We will still be deep in this pandemic. We will still be a nation of liberty for some but not for all. We will still carry the griefs on our heart from all those we have lost this year and the fear for those who lie dying even as we gather in our homes this night to watch … and wait … and hope.And yet as we watch and wait for midnight and the chance finally to put 2020 behind us, it is Hope that is the real watchword of this night.

“The irony of Jesus’ later followers choosing a miraculous birth story somehow to proclaim him as special is that what actually made Jesus special was his ability somehow to resist the rest of the world’s denial that everyone is special. His ability to remember that every birth is a miracle, that every life is a wonder – and to treat everyone as such.
The revolutionary power of Jesus is not summed up in a virgin birth story but in how Jesus lived what we proclaim every time we gather … that God dwells in YOU. That every time we meet each other we are meeting a miracle. That every time we look in the mirror, we are looking at a miracle.”

“The soundest thinking in the world without love in action is of little worth. I think God‘s deep concern with us today it’s not the correctness of our creeds but the quality of our deeds as we build our house of faith on the rock of love.”

“In a world of violence, Jesus was peaceful. In a world that depended on brute force, Jesus depended on nothing but the love of God expressed in human life. Jesus lived a nonviolent life in a world of vicious violence -- and he sent out his disciples ... and us ... to do the same thing.”

“I believe more than any other human problem loneliness -- the absence of meaningful human connections -- drains the joy and purpose from life. And at its essence, religion is what binds us together and makes us into community.”

From the All Saints Archives: This sermon preached by George Regas on July 16, 1989, affirmed All Saints Church as a prayerfully pro-choice church.
“We come together to talk about such a fiercely divisive issue in a community of faith that says love is strong enough to allow people to live together even though there is very radical disagreement. And so in this place we can listen, we can explore, we can have conflict and we can disagree.”

From the All Saints Archives: This sermon, preached by George Regas on October 11,1990 opened the way for the blessing of the covenants of same-sex couples at All Saints Church and paved the way for marriage equity in the Episcopal Church decades later.
"I believe God is calling this great parish into a new place ...The blessing of a same sex covenant is the clearest symbol the church can send that these precious children of God are fully accepted into the life of the congregation. Don't ever underestimate the power of healing such an act would bring."

“It has been nine months since the annunciation of stay at home. Nine months. And as the days shorten, the nights lengthen and we prepare for the nine months of Mary’s pregnancy to end in the joy of Christmas, we are being told that our isolation, that the hospitalizations, the overflowing ICUs, the death tolls, jobs lost, anxiety, separation, loneliness, talking with each other only online and through masks… will continue.
“What mother, after nine months of pregnancy, of nausea, aches, pains, anxieties, fatigue, constipation, bloating, hemorrhoids and having to pee a hundred times a day would welcome being told … what do ya say? Let’s do nine more!
“It would be inconceivable. There would be no words.
“And yet here we are.
“What do we do when there are no words?
“We groan.”

"Who is the God of your envisioning? Does your God see you? Does your God know you? Does your God love you? Or does your God tell you that you are not enough? That the way you were made is insufficient. Does your God cut off the possibility of your thriving and flourishing as who you were created to be? Does your God call you to deny essential components of who you are? Does your God dwell with you in your sorrow and in your pain? And when your God demands difficult things of you like returning to a place of pain, will your God walk with you?"

"There is perhaps no greater example of how we have weaponized the teachings of Jesus to create our own Apartheids of separation and domination than what has been done to John 3:16. We’ve all heard it. Beautiful people of many faiths and questioning journeys have been condemned by it. Many of us in this very room have been wounded by it. The using of John 3:16 to proclaim the ultimate Apartheid: Choose Jesus and live. Chose anything else and die. Or, more specifically … pledge yourself to a Jesus carefully curated by the church to support its social, political and, above all, economic agenda and go to heaven … or choose anything else and go to hell. There’s only one problem with this translation of John 3:16. It’s complete and total crap."

"Jesus during this miraculous event, is teaching us that the glory, the wonder, is not only on the mountaintop. It is also what happens next. The glory is revealed when Jesus came down from the top of the mountain to heal all those in need, to be in the company of sinners and the destitute. This is the real transfirguration. This is where the real glory and wonder is."

"I don't have to tell you that we live in a throw away, disposable culture. For almost everything from clothing to tech toys seems to be made for obsolescence. And part of the problem is that many things are made so that you can't even try to fix them. They're not even made to be repaired. And part of the problem is that we're not just talking about throw away things, we live in a culture of throw away people. We throw away relationships, we throw away communities, we throw away people. We live in a world where it's too easy to buy and replace, instead of repair and hold on."

"...It's those women [in Nazi Germany] who stood outside of Rosenstrasse in the cold, demanding to be reunited with their husbands. It's their husbands, defying the orders that they must ignore their wives. It's the soldiers putting down their guns and saying, 'I'm not firing on a bunch of unarmed women!' That's the power we have -- to confront the demands of an unjust society. To cause a scene that renders us awake to the political realities of our time. And to wield our collective power wisely together to jam the wheels of injustice. That's a spectacular intervention -- and a spectacular intervention is what we need. So let's get up and get going!"

"It’s time for a new narrative that recognizes that God loves us, that God dwells with us and in us not in spite of our humanity but because of it. That it is what we see as the most ordinary about ourselves that is the most extraordinary, the most sacred. A new narrative that says that Mary is worthy of being revered because she was a woman who lived a hard life with grace and power and raised a child under the most perilous of circumstances … and that, praise God, in that she is not unique among women but in the blessed company of so many women throughout time into today. A new narrative that says what Jesus said by sitting down to eat with the most scandalous people of his day. That it is when the world most shames us that God is loving us the hardest and holding us the tightest. That it is each of us just as we are, that God loves so passionately that God cannot bear to be separated from us, from you. That none of us are disposable – and it’s time we stopped treating each other and ourselves like we are. It’s time for a new narrative."

"Afeni and I bonded over birthing sons who had been gossiped about, misunderstood, and had experienced violent deaths as young adult men. Now, as mothers we did not parent in any Polyanna-ish way. Both of us had deliberately prepared our children for the pushback from those representing the Empire. For instance, I disclosed to Jesus when he was very young about how me and his father had to escape to Egypt because Empire would have killed him otherwise. Afeni shared with me that she instructed Tupac about how Empire infiltrated and eventually destroyed the efforts of the Black Panther Party. She educated him well about the consequences of being a freedom fighter that she knew all too well. Following her successful defense and acquittal, Afeni had experienced unrelenting retaliation. Empire terrorized every one of her post-incarceration employers to frighten them enough to lay Afeni off. Her inability to have places to use her bright, capable and resourceful mind really sent her and her family into such a whirlwind of challenges. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to look her son in the eyes, the very son who was in her womb when she was in prison, and tell him that she didn't have enough food for him and his sister, or to say we have to move another time and we have no place to go. Words can't describe how hard it must've been for her."

"The original word for repent is the Greek word 'metanoia' which literally means to 'change your mind, to change direction' … and this word has nothing to do with guilt or shame. So, John the Baptist calls his audience to a thorough change of heart and mind. Repentance in this context literally means 'turning around,' 'moving in an opposite direction.' Repentance for John is an action and it is not meant to be about feeling shame or feeling bad. It is instead about thinking differently and therefore acting differently."

"Jesus showed us by how he lived and died and lived again on the other side of death that nothing is too big, too much, too hard for God, that human dignity and flourishing are God’s dream for us no matter under what oppressive systems we find ourselves. The Jesus who allied himself with the poor and disenfranchised by becoming poor and disenfranchised will not abandon us to a world that does not love us, fears us and seeks to harm us. Rather Jesus stands with us as we remake the world that is our heritage, our sacred trust, as we rediscover its poetry and the poetry inside of each of us."

"The world is crying out for a different way. And here we are as All Saints Church committed to walk with a revolutionary Jesus. I wish I could stand here and tell you exactly what that looks like for us. I wish I had a five-point plan with metrics for success and funders in place. But revolutions of love don’t begin that way.
Here’s how they do begin: They begin by us first imagining … just imagining … that the way things are isn’t the way things have to be. That in the words of Andre Henry, “It doesn’t have to be this way.” That we might be a womb where the dreams of a new world can be conceived."

"We are called into action in anticipation of this kingdom to come. So what are we called to do in Jesus' name? What are we called to do to protect our transgender siblings? Will you stop to ask the trans woman being harassed by the police if she needs any help? Will you make sure the trans youth experiencing homelessness in your community will have somewhere to eat a meal once this week? Will you accompany a trans person to immigration court to provide support and care? There is so much that we can do. Sometimes it can feel a little bit overwhelming.

"People started coming together and there was a lot of dancing going on. And my memory is that I didn't dance, that I totally sat it out. I don't know if you have memories like that -- chances where you had that space for freedom and you chose to sit it out. And I don't even know why. I took a couple videos and sometimes I think maybe if I was freer I would dance. Maybe if some of the stuff hadn't happened to me in my life as a kid I would dance. Maybe if I felt better in my body I would dance. Maybe if I didn't feel so conspicuous I would dance. Maybe if I was a better person I would dance.

"For a moment, we forget.
In a moment, we remember.
For a moment we remember.
And then in a moment, we forget.
Today we come together to honor both those whom we love but see no longer and also the struggle and dance of we whose journey on earth is not yet done.
Today we come together to proclaim that though death seems final, though we long so deeply for the things that still seem so close and yet we increasingly too easily forget – the warmth of her touch, the smell of his hair, the sound of their laugh … we come together to proclaim that the parting of death is but painful and powerful illusion.
That what God has joined together not even death can tear asunder.
That when we
Say Her Name
Say His Name
Say Their Name
We are proclaiming that we have been … and always will be … One."

"...The key to right relationship … with God, with each other, with ourselves … is humility. So, what is humility? Well I’ll tell you what it isn’t. Humility is not God saying “You suck … just admit it” and us believing it. Humility is not making yourself small to suit the comfort of others. Humility is not a false modesty of failing to acknowledge the power and beauty each and all of us have as images of the divine.
"The Greek word Luke uses here is "tapeinós," which means “God reliant.” The key to right relationship … with God, with each other, with ourselves … is being reliant on how God sees us for how we see ourselves. And God’s love … the love of the revolutionary Jesus … is a love without judgment or condition."

"Many of us came here because All Saints is a community of radical love and inclusion, that speaks truth to power and advocates for peace and justice. I know this why I came. I could no longer tolerate the hideous exclusion and emotional harm done to LBGTQ siblings. I couldn’t identify with Christianity that aligned itself with a view of God as white and male. I couldn’t connect to a religion that was competitive with other religious paths. I had been traumatized by the concept of a God who required torture and death to appease his anger yet, required I love him. Here, I felt comfortable at last, free of unfair, bigoted concepts that seemed interwoven into the faith I accepted wholeheartedly."

"I don’t have a problem talking with you about giving money at All Saints Church. Because while money is really important, it is also sign and symbol of what I really want to ask you to give and that is your lives. Give your lives, give your whole selves for love. That’s where the joy is! Don’t hold back in fear. Together, we can do it. God has us and we’ve got each other.
"I want us to move our money from fear to love because I want us to move our lives from fear to love. Life is too short and too beautiful for us to be prisoners of fear. Love calls us through joy and sorrow – and yet even the sorrow can be a window to joy when we walk through life together."

That language of disability that they have chosen is unfortunate, because they themselves define their communities not as disabled but rather as saying 'I think like you, but differently.'
As a lifelong educator, Robin continually challenges and teaches me about the language we use. I was sharing with her this week about a conversation I had with someone who self-identified as having ADD, and she pushed back strongly against that term – Attention Deficit Disorder -- and as I have heard her say many times before, she said:
'ADD is neither a deficit nor a disorder … we each think differently.'
Later, she showed me a passage from Vanier’s book, where he writes these words that have deep significance for an All Saints community that holds radical inclusion as a core value.
Vanier writes: 'When I talk about “inclusion” of people with (and here I add “so-called”) disabilities … I am not just saying we should be kind to such people …. Nor “normalize” them to be “like us.’ …They have a gift to give to all, to each of us as individuals… and to society, in general.
'The excluded … live certain values we all need to discover and to live ourselves before we can become truly human. It is not a just a question of performing good deeds for those who are excluded but of being open and vulnerable to them in order to receive the life that they can offer.'”

“So let us not fear our anger... or our tears... or our secrets. Let us wear them all as badges of honor. Because only then...
Only when we are able to look at the world through tears and wail the lament that any decent feeling person would cry looking at how things are today
'Is there no balm in Gilead?'
Only when we are able to share our secrets and cry our laments will we be able to hear and sing that song of healing, that song of power, that song of love, that song of hope that love will always, always, always be greater than fear.”

“A revolutionary Jesus looks at each of us and is not satisfied with the 99% of ourselves that we think might be lovable, but wants desperately to touch that one percent, that secret we hide so deeply in fear … to caress that broken childhood dream … to reach that painful secret that is feeding on our heart like a cancer … to look deeply into our eyes and tell us that even that part of us … and maybe even especially that part of us … is infinitely loved as well.”

“To follow me, Jesus says, you will be called to leave your comfort zone guaranteed, and although God will sustain you and carry you in love, you heart will sometimes break. It will break at the news of our border, and the immigrant children and parents torn from each other. It may break learning this week of the 51st homeless person to die on the sidewalks of Los Angeles this year. You may suffer sometimes for what you do to make it different, and you will suffer for what you cannot change. That’s the cost of having a heart aligned with God’s heart.”

"I know that I'm not the only person that asks why. Why would some Being entitled 'the Almighty,' 'the All Powerful,' 'the Ubiquitous God,' allow this to be the state of our world? Why, in God's plan, is there so much pain and so much anger? I was brought up here, learning that God is love -- that we exist to be wrapped up in this love and that in the end it will save us. But with every day that passes, it becomes more and more difficult to believe that that is true -- the negativity keeps spreading."

"...And then [Jesus] says, 'Be ready.' He's talking to people and it is written at a time where Christians or people who were Jewish who were following after Christ at this point in time -- because there weren't really Christians but people who were following after Christ at this time -- were feeling a little bit comfortable. And Jesus says, 'In your comfortability don't become a hypocrite.' And I wonder this morning, are we the people like the audience in Luke, who have gotten so comfortable with our earthly trappings and accomplishments that we've begun to advocate from a distance? To turn a blind eye to poverty, to foster violence to the body through white supremacy, and violence to the soul by bad policy...?"

“Key moments for this uprising would need prepared places to emerge. Hear me: Placemaking is an act of God, to facilitate connection between humanity and the divine. These places can be naturally occurring as evidenced by Howard Thurman's young life, or carved out of the natural environment or social order through construction and intention. Curating places beyond the maze of particulars which ensnare the human spirit is an act of resistance which liberates people to experience God.”

"Jesus stopped. And Jesus listened. And Jesus loved. And healing happened. But first … Jesus stopped. And if Jesus can stop, can we? We can.

"In this creation story in Genesis we have confused the timeless poetry of the electricity of human connection with a frozen-in-time snapshot of an early moment in our ever-evolving understand of the wonder of gender and sexuality. Too often, we have used this story to dominate rather than to liberate, preaching a scriptural mandate of gender binaries, hetero and cis-normativity that we now know has always been an impoverishment and not the rich reality of human existence. Yet there is deep, poetic electric wisdom in the story: wisdom we desperately need for such a time as this."

And it's still missing today."

"[The Pope] said what all people of all faiths know when they have God-consciousness: that most religion is satisfied and desires a God who pushes our human sufferings and the messiness of human life away. We usually want a strong, powerful, clean and pure, pristine God who says that if your life is messy and complicated that that is Satan, or the Not-God. But the God that this morning's story is talking about is the God who does not push away our sufferings but rushes--rushes--to enter into our sufferings, breaking through our less-than-stellar selves and lives, not only to love us, but to give us the feelings and the consciousness that Jesus brought back from the grave."
