Punishing Women

Wrapping the Cross–A Good Friday Service
Last year, my friend Jemma Allen shared something they had done in worship on Good Friday that involved wrapping a cross. I immediately started planning how we would do it this year and wanted to share it. Included is a general order of worship. Feel free to use, adapt, improve, and share how you use…
We are all North Carolina
Below is a Facebook status of a friend that is important for us all to read. They cannot, at this time, add their own name here but they have given me permission to share their words here. In light of the atrocious anti-LGBTQ bill recently passed in North Carolina, it is important to remember we…
“Dignity” and “Pro-Life”

The Glory Road
A sermon preached at Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, Idaho February 21, 2016 Mark 10:32-52 I only made it one verse into this reading before I got stuck this week.

What Makes a Christian
Today Pope Francis questioned whether or not Donald Trump is a Christian. Pope Francis said, A “person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
