Sundays with Schmemann

Last updated on: August 2, 2015 at 6:36 am By Porter Case Taylor

My work has been very heavily influenced by Fr. Alexander Schmemann and I think he has a great deal to say on the subjects of liturgy, sacraments, and the church. For those of you who may not know him: Fr. Schmemann was a priest of Russian descent in the Orthodox Church committed to liturgical theology and renewal. After a teaching period in Paris (1946-1951), he joined the faculty at St. Vladimir’s Seminary in New York where he remained until his... Read more

I’m beginning a new feature called, “Sundays with Schmemann.” My work has been very heavily influenced by Fr. Alexander Schmemann and I think he has a great deal to say on the subjects of liturgy, sacraments, and the church. Here is my first offering for you. “The only real fall of man is his noneucharistic life in a noneucharistic world.” Aleksandr Shmeman, For the Life of the World: Sacraments and Orthodoxy, 2nd ed. (Crestwood, NY: St. Vladimir, 1973 (1982 printing)). “Liturgical study of... Read more

Bring Your Gifts to the Altar – Sermon Notes for Pentecost 9/Proper 12

Last updated on: July 21, 2015 at 6:21 am By Porter Case Taylor

If you’re new to my Sermon Notes, you can read about why I prepare them here. They aren’t just for preachers, they’re for everyone! Thesis Three concepts really leapt out at me from the collect and lessons this week: holiness, “increase and multiply,” and living lives of self-offering. The combination of 2 Kings and John 6 for the 9th Sunday after Pentecost allows us to delve into the meaning and nature of oblation even if we stop short of a... Read more

“Help Me Lord. You’re My Only Hope.”

Last updated on: July 20, 2015 at 5:45 am By Porter Case Taylor

(This sermon was preached at Epiphany Anglican Church on July 29, 2012 in Mission Viejo, CA. The lectionary lessons were from Track 1 of the RCL: 2 Samuel 11:1-15, Psalm 14, Ephesians 3:14-21, and John 6:1-21. My notes for this upcoming Sunday will focus on the lessons from Track 2.) I love Star Wars. I grew up watching the movie, reading the books and playing the card game. In the first movie produced, Episode 4, the Rebel Alliance is under... Read more

The Weight of Glory – Sermon Notes for the Second Sunday After Pentecost – Proper 5 – Year B

Last updated on: June 4, 2015 at 6:58 am By Porter Case Taylor

If you’re new to my Sermon Notes, you can read about why I prepare them here. They aren’t just for preachers, they’re for everyone! Thesis As I read through these lessons over and over there were two themes that jumped out at me: sin and promise. It is really just one theme with two sides but that’s ok! Everything points back and away from Genesis 3, in my opinion. We are entering into Ordinary Time—sure, we’ve been there since Pentecost... Read more

Blessed Be God: Father, Son And Holy Spirit.

Last updated on: June 1, 2015 at 10:28 am By Porter Case Taylor

Our faith remains Trinitarian in nature even after Trinity Sunday. I found this old sermon while looking through my documents recently. May it be a reminder that we worship God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Content Advisory: Today is Trinity Sunday. Theologically it is important to wrestle through the particulars of the Trinity and how we can know God who is three-in-one and one-in-three. However, it is more essential that we come to know the Triune God and... Read more

Arriving At Amen: A Book Review

Last updated on: May 31, 2015 at 6:10 am By Porter Case Taylor

I have only been a Patheos blogger for a month but when the opportunity came knocking to review a book I jumped at it quickly. My level of excitement was high when I learned that Arriving at Amen: Seven Catholic Prayers That Even I Can Offer by fellow Patheos blogger, Leah Libresco, was one of the options. As if the book’s title, cover, and content weren’t enough to entice me, Libresco uses Inspector Javert from Les Miserables as a powerful... Read more
