Who empties the trash? Who is Saint Bartholomew? 

August 24, 2019 By Ben Day 3 Comments

We were standing in front of an overflowing trash can in the neighborhood “fast-food chicken” franchise. It took me a moment to register my son asking me the question. I’d been daydreaming and lost in thought.

Celebrating Adelaide Teague Case and Religious Education

June 19, 2019 By Carrie Willard Leave a Comment

Today, June 19, we remember Adelaide Teague Case, who died seventy-one years ago. “An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church” tells us that Dr. Case was “the first woman to be appointed to full professional rank in an Anglican seminary.” She was a theologian, librarian, professor, and writer, but she lived at a time before women could be ordained in the Episcopal Church.

We Interrupt Your Bedtime Routine for this Christian Formation Opportunity

March 21, 2019 By Drew Bunting 3 Comments

Last Sunday I had to bat cleanup after my own sermon. Sometime during the Nicene Creed, I realized that I’d left something out. It was an important point with significant pastoral implications.

March 8, 2019 By Tina Clark 1 Comment

As we approach Lent, I wonder how we can use this season to help the teenagers in our care, at home and at church, keep the door open for faith.

Christ accepted Thomas’s questions. That’s a parenting lesson for me.

December 21, 2017 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

Jesus doesn’t scold or question Thomas; instead, he offers Thomas exactly what he needs.

July 5, 2016 By Melissa Wilcox 2 Comments

The stark questions of little people, especially around issues of faith and faith identity, can make us very uncomfortable.
