Theological reflections
For the last six years I’ve written to my congregation at the beginning of every week. This column, The Rector's Pen, which goes out to about 450 households, offers stories, theological reflections, teaching, and an inside look at what’s happening in our common life. It is a way for busy, geographically dispersed parishioners to stay connected to our church, and to develop their own theological ways of looking at the world. It is also a very dear spiritual practice for me, and a way of pastoring people I may not get to see nor speak with often. This is a listing of some of those columns, with links to their full content.
