    Here Be Dragons

    (The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 19 - Year B - SC) - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Peter, like the rest of us, gets it both very right and very wrong at the same time, and finds himself in completely uncharted territory. The reality of Jesus' way -- what we have called for centuries the way of the cross -- is that it completely upends our worldviews and expectations at exactly the same time that it unseats our terror of death. The journey of faith is to struggle to put one foot in front of the other while carrying our cross, both individually and collectively, as Jesus would have us follow.

    Perseverance as Faith

    (The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 18 - B) - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) The unsettling story of Jesus' encounter with the Syro-phoenician woman speaks to a critically important element of faith and an enduring lesson for all who live at the margins; and for those who support, serve, and stand with marginalized.

    Where God Lives

    (The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Year B (SC Track) - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Where does God live? This ancient question, as simple as it sounds, points to one of the foundations of our faith: our way of being in the world and with each other.

    The Task Before Us

    (The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 6 - Year B) - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Jesus places before us the gift of beloved community and calls us to be part of its planting and cultivation. What we must learn is that the way of participating in that beautiful miracle is paved with parables... and the remarkable discovery that the way forward will likely surprise us: the way of small things.

    New Life in the Vine

    (The Fifth Sunday of Easter - Year B - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Philip's call to meet the Ethiopian eunuch reveals much about the calling of the early Christian community -- and the call of ours -- to abide in the fruitful new life planted in our midst.

    Tracing the Good Shepherd

    (The Fourth Sunday of Easter - Year B - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) We can trace the the work of the Good Shepherd back to the very beginning, when our spiritual ancestors were herders -- watchful guardians and leaders standing in the pastures of Creation.

    The Empty Tomb

    (Easter Day - Year B - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) If Mark's gospel ends with the empty tomb, we are left with a terrifying reminder that our implicit pact with death is at an end. What we have is a God of life who overthrows almost everything we think we know about the world, creation, and the divine activity at work in our midst.

    A Collision of Worlds

    (Good Friday - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Jesus confronts Pilate with a vexing reminder for all who aspire to or who are in positions structured around power: What we grasp is not of God's world.
