17 January 2010, The Second Sunday after Epiphany

Pastor Nancy Christensen, assistant to Bishop Gordy, presented us with a most insightful homily at this morning's Eucharist, weaving into the Gospel for the day, the story of Jesus at the wedding in Cana, her mission work in Guatemala. The singing of songs from other countries, especially the Swedish Samba "You Are Holy" and the Tanzanian "Listen, God is Calling" was lovely. Such a joy-filled day, but deeply saddened by our thoughts and prayers for the people of Haiti. For the rest of our lives we must repent of our imperialist sins against the Haitian people and commit ourselves to the restoration of that beloved country. God help us.
