Pentecost 2 (6/6/21) – Garrett Yates Sermons from St. Anne's in-the-Fields

“It feels like this is something of our last Sunday of the school year,
before we shift into summer mode next week with one 9am service. It’s also
like we are at this societal moment of pivoting out of COVID-19
restrictions and more or less going back to normal – if there ever was such
a thing. What’s been a bit disorienting for me was the radical abruptness
of reopening. It was like the CDC and our civic leaders just got tired of
the gray zone of semi-regulated communal life, and rather than slowly
undimming the lights, they just decided to flick the switch on, and many of
us, accustomed to the dark and coziness of quarantine, are squinting a
little bit, trying to acclimate to the bright lights of normal.”
