Ezekiel 36:24-28
Mark 10:35-45
At Commencement at Harvard University, the minister at the Memorial Church renowned preacher, Peter Gomes, used to tell the graduates this famous bible story:
“As they were being driven out of Eden, and at the east the flaming sword barricaded the tree of life and blocked the way back, Eve turned to Adam and said, ‘My dear, we are entering a time of transition.’”
Luke 14:25-33
Eight years ago almost to the day, when I was a new interim theology professor at SSW, I stood in this pulpit and preached my very first sermon in Christ Chapel. It was 2 days after we sent George W Bush back to the White House for 4 more years, and 3 or 4 days after the Lambeth Commission released the Windsor Report, giving a theological and ecclesiastical response to the controversies in the Episcopal Church surrounding human sexuality.

In the name of Jesucristo. Amen.
"This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!" Now repeat after me and say it like you mean it: "This is the day the Lord has made…. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!" By God, I'll make joyful Christians out of you yet!!
Now I want all of you to turn to Psalm 100 and I want us to say it together and say it like you mean it, with a loud voice and your lungs full of joyful air! Psalm 100
