Read or Listen to a Sermon

Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday Sermons

On Good Friday Mo. Storm talked about changes in the liturgy that address longstanding problems with this day and our relationship to our Jewish neighbors, reclaiming this as the day of mutual understanding, love, and reconciliation that it should always have been.

On Easter Saturday, at the Vigil, Mo. Eliza talked about this ancient and wonderful liturgy and its call to live out the resurrection in ways big and small. Read or listen to that sermon here.

On Easter Sunday, Mo. Storm reflected on the surprising subtlety of our resurrection accounts, which are (quoting the Welsh poet R.S. Thomas) "remarkable merely for the absence of clamor." What does this mean for how we read this story and apply it to our lives?
