An Open Letter to Planned Parenthood Protestors from a Pro-Life Pastor

Last updated on: July 26, 2019 at 8:50 am By David C. Cramer

[This open letter is a guest post from my co-pastor, Carrie Badertscher. She writes this explanation about the circumstances of the letter: Over the last eight years I have had the privilege of hearing countless life stories from individuals I meet. Their stories are filled with struggle, but also great bravery in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances. These stories and their bravery have changed my life and the way I see the world. Oftentimes I’m at a loss on... Read more

MennoCon19 reflection: an insider-outsider’s perspective

Last updated on: July 22, 2019 at 3:31 pm By David C. Cramer

Two weeks ago my family and I were gearing up to head to Kansas City, where I was scheduled to lead a series of youth sessions on “Big Questions” at the Mennonite Church USA 2019 convention (MennoCon19) on behalf of AMBS. Although I had been a member of an MCUSA church for five years while a grad student in Texas and have followed denomination closely, I’d never been to a Mennonite Church convention and didn’t know quite what to expect....

Reconciliation: A Jubilee Sermon (Luke 12:54–59)

Last updated on: June 5, 2019 at 12:07 am By David C. Cramer

Last year the church where I serve as teaching pastor, Keller Park Church (South Bend, Indiana), celebrated its 50th anniversary—or our very own year of Jubilee. To celebrate this occasion, I preached a series on the Jubilee theme as found in the Gospel of Luke (with allusions to Isaiah and Leviticus). Below is the seventh sermon of the series. (While you’re here, check out the other sermons, Revolution, Release, Rest-oration, Remembrance, Recovery, and Repentance.) One sunny summer afternoon a few years ago I was driving with my...

“You gave birth to the whole world”: A Mother’s Day Sermon (John 10:22–30)

Last updated on: May 23, 2019 at 9:28 am By David C. Cramer

When I was a kid, I lived in a neighborhood with a bunch of other boys right around my age. And so all throughout the year, but especially in the summer, my brother and I would often leave home to play with our friends. We might go swimming in Mike’s backyard. We might play the board game RISK at Chuck’s house. We might explore in the woods behind Brian’s house. Or we might play baseball or football in the empty... Read more

Last updated on: May 6, 2019 at 8:57 am By David C. Cramer

In 1984, Alberta Billy, an Aboriginal member of the United Church of Canada, or UCC, told the UCC leadership: “It is time you apologize to Native people.” Two years later the General Council of the UCC met to discuss what such an apology might entail, while the Native elders waited outside in a gravel parking lot. Finally, the UCC leaders finished their apology and came out to read it to the elders. It read, Long before my people journeyed to... Read more
