ALL OF US IN WONDERLAND
Going down the rabbit hole into God’s reign of love
Liturgical and Personal Spiritual Practice Guides for a six-week Pentecost season
After all we’ve been through in the last two and half years, most of us are ready for a change. We all know now that what was normal in our global society wasn’t working for anyone but a tiny, privileged few. We need to find another way of being. But for most of us, ‘immersed in the way things are,’ it’s very difficult to imagine what a different life and a different world could look like. It might seem like the dream of a better, more compassionate and connected world is nothing more than a wonderland of fantasy.
Â
But what if that wonderland is real? What if we really could dive down a metaphorical rabbit hole and discover a whole new wonderland world for all of us? Well, I believe that this is, essentially, what Jesus’ message of God’s reign of love was all about. And I believe that the experience of the Spirit that happened on the Day of Pentecost two thousands years ago was the rabbit hole that we need to enter God’s new world.
And that is why I am so excited to share this new Liturgical Guide for a six-week Pentecost Season: ALL OF US IN WONDERLAND—Going down the rabbit hole into God’s reign of love.

Week of 14 – 20 August 2022
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK As followers of Jesus, we may be tempted to believe that we should never be involved in conflict or disagreements. The call to be people of love and grace can feel like a call to just be nice to everyone. But, in this week's readings, we hear a very different message. The Scriptures celebrate our ancestors in the faith, noting that many of them stood against the injustices of their day – even to death. This Sunday you may have read a prophecy from Jeremiah [...]

04 September 2022 This is not going to be a fun week to preach - but it is going to be life-giving! The essential message of this week's readings boils down to two things for me: 1) We are constantly faced with the choice to do the right thing or not; 2) Doing the right thing (or following Jesus, if you will) is very costly. Unfortunately, in our world, expediency, short-term thinking and prosperity preaching have all made the Gospel of counting the cost very unpopular. But, in truth, [...]
