Contemplative Episcopalian

I always look forward to these sermons. They often seem to come just at the right time. It’s much appreciated. Thank you!

From 5 to a 1. To say the Progressive say the Bible is myth is like saying the Conservatives support transgender & want to teach it in our schools. Some things have NOTHING to do with politics & politics have no place in the church. Any church! You need to get in touch with Intelligent Design. I know as many believing scientists with major research universities & even NASA whom are strong believers in the Bible being the Word of God & Moses a real person. Science supports it. And “Progressives” tend to follow science. You are a leader. Act like one. Words matter. Your message was good but was marked out by your politics. Leave politics out because one thing Moses not Jesus was is a Conservative or Progressive; a Republican or Democrat! Do better. Thank you.

I assumed, given the description and specifically Episcopalian, the podcast would be theologically sound, smart, inclusive, and meaningful. My assumptions are genuinely realized!

These homilies are gems born of the heart of a truly contemplative soul. Fr TJ knows what he is talking about. His lessons come out of the fabric of his own life and of the people he knows. He usually has a riveting story to tell that illuminates an aspect of scripture. Together the stories and lessons of his homilies make a marvelous tapestry. Fr TJ strikes me as a priest of humility and courage, not to mention deep love and wisdom. Thank you Fr. TJ and your church community for making these wonderful podcasts possible!
