Trinity 18 – The Son of David
October 12, 2009

This week’s mindmapping sermon experiment didn’t go as well. The best thing about the sermon is that it was short. But you can’t have everything! I think the problem was that I didn’t map out enough detail, didn’t use enough visual cues for preaching, and didn’t have as clear a trajectory toward the Sacrament. Trinity18-2009

A Lament for the Lectionary

I love the historic lectionary. The rhythm of the readings, the Psalms and Introits, the use of traditional hymnody that speaks references it directly, it flows in a way that is beautiful, reverent and stirring. It stirs up the faith, just as the historic collects remind us as we prepare for Adventtide. That is why [...]
