Easter 6 (5/9/21) – Garrett Yates Sermons from St. Anne's in-the-Fields

    • Christianity

“Our tradition provides us two holy books, two sacred texts, to shape our
spiritual imaginations. The first text is Holy Scripture – the Old and the
New Testaments containing the great story of salvation, providing us the
teachings of Jesus, and the examples of the earliest followers. The second
Sacred Text is the Book of Creation. We don’t normally think of creation as
a text, but all the elements are there. There are characters (both heroes
and villains), and landscapes, and family conflicts, and resolutions and
more bloody conflicts. And like any text, or book, it’s there for the
reader to interpret it. To try and make sense out of it. What’s it about?
Can we discern a plot?”
