Sermons
I balance my preaching so that they are not all of any one type of theology nor tone. Some are pastoral, others call you to action. Some are nurturing and others bolster the congregation to act on justice issues. Even if a sermon is historical or informational, they all relate to current times and issues we face. Most worship I plan has a faith formation aspect and many have congregational activities engaging a variety of learning styles.

Queer as a Verb
Queer is not just a gender or sexuality, but also a theology. The language we have for understanding gender, and sexuality is constrained by language, culture and even faith. Queer theology is an emerging way of describing life’s mysteries. You are invited to explore queer theologians as we ‘queer’ culture and faith and celebrate pride month.
What is Church?
Church is the container to help us work together. It is different than volunteering for a justice organization because we have values and a covenant, congregation to congregation to bring us together. You need all those things to both grow spiritually, create belonging and heal the world. Today, we rethink – what is church? Why do church? What do we hope for Church?
