This Incarnate Faith
I woke up at 5:44 am this morning with these words running through my head: “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark…” They are the intro to the resurrection story. It all starts in the dark. Always, everytime – this is how God does things. Seeds, chrysalis, the womb, the... Continue Reading →
(Christ on the Cross with Two Maries and St. John, El Greco, 1588) If you missed a Good Friday service or you aren't sure why you would go to one but are interested, here is the story told at The Road Church's Good Friday service. We played Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings following the... Continue Reading →
THIS is why I love Walter Brueggemann: "Note that the Psalms thus propose to speak about human experience in an honest, freeing way. This is in contrast to much human speech and conduct which is in fact a cover-up. In most arenas where people live, we are expected and required to speak the language of... Continue Reading →
As you may know, yesterday The Road Church participated in The Blanket Exercise. It is a learning tool to help non-indigenous Canadians know more of the history of Indigenous people’s in Canada and what the effects of those stories that are still being felt and dealt with today.

Poland, where the greed of some led to the hunger of so many, even there, after 1929. Poland where 3 million jews were... Continue Reading →
So, the rumors are true – this girl is getting ordained! It seems like a pretty simple sentence but behind it is a lifetime or two of wading through what it means to be a woman of faith, intellect, spirit and questioning. And it’s at once a hard and good story. But for now I... Continue Reading →
There is an exhaustion creeping over us who care. Do you feel it? I read the news, and then I read the comments and then I see the drivers and then I see hear the casual but in the end dehumanizing dismissals of those who think politically different than us. There is an... Continue Reading →
Let me say that humans are so strange. I know this because I’ve been one my whole life and I’ve lived with them my whole life. Even this week, I looked at my husband, who I really truly adore, and he looked at me, who obviously he adores, and we both thought – “huh?” He... Continue Reading →
There is a phrase that’s thrown around churches like mine: “Reformed and always reforming.” Depending on who you talk to this refers to either the personal response of individuals (We have re-formed our theology now we need our hearts, minds, morals and outer lives to be re-formed as well) or the modus operandi of...
