Some thoughts on the Holy Trinity

Last updated on: June 1, 2012 at 3:40 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

Holy Trinity is not the most popular festival among preachers who, for all the other seasons and special days of the church year, normally get to dig into interesting gospel narratives. Most other festivals of the church celebrate an event. We commemorate happenings in the life of Christ: Mary’s visit from Gabriel announcing the miraculous child she was to bear into the world, God’s own word made flesh. We celebrate also the light bearing nature of the season of Epiphany,... Read more

The Pentecost sermon I preached at the Festival of Homiletics

Last updated on: May 25, 2012 at 2:18 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. 5Now there were devout Jews from...

I hope the President just did what I could not do today

Last updated on: May 10, 2012 at 12:16 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

I like to hold “office hours” every week at a local coffee house. It gives my parishioners an opportunity to connect with me and to meet each other. This morning Jim came in and sat down with the small House for All Sinners and Saints crowd already around the table. I’m just so angry and so sad that people can put to a vote whether I’m worthy of the same rights as them. Jim has been, for over 5 years,... Read more

Church and Crossfit and what they have in common.

Last updated on: April 29, 2012 at 1:21 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

I can’t lift my arms. They scream in muscle soreness after 3 weeks of Crossfit workouts. At the age 43 I’ve found myself in poor physical condition; my career having taken over my usually fit body. But a block behind our house in a slightly ghetto strip of businesses along a sidewalk dotted with empty gin bottles and crushed packs of generic cigarettes is a little white building with red trim. Inside this vintage garage which 2 years ago... Read more

He washed their feet, told them to love one another and instituted the Eucharist. “This is my body given for you, my blood shed for you for the forgiveness of sin. Do this in remembrance of me.” We gathered outside in... Read more
