I'VE BEEN THINKING
The Ruminations of a Retired Pastor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* December 5, 2014
A FIRST POST
Almost every week, as I prepare my sermon there’s stuff that gets left out.
It’s not unusual for me to run up one alley early in the week; then, at the
end of the week the spirit takes me in another direction, sometimes a
completely different direction. Later, I’ll look back at a page or two that…

JUST WORLD HYPOTHESIS
The need to see victims as the recipients of their just deserts can be
explained by what psychologists call the “Just World Hypothesis.”[1] We’ve
heard the statements, “Look at how she was dressed, she was asking for it.” A
similar attitude regards the killing of unarmed African Americans in these
United States, “Well s/he must… Continue reading

POVERTY IS DEATH
In 1968 a conference of Latin American Roman Catholic Bishops convened at
Medellin, Colombia. The conference’s express goal was to interpret the Second
Vatican Council (Vatican II) for the Latin American context. The conference
is notable for the emergence of the statement “the preferential option for
the poor” as a theological context for Latin American.… Continue reading

WHAT HAPPENED?
It’s not unusual to hear people talk about some mythical time, in the past,
when the world was comprehensible, when most levers of culture and society
seemed to function as they were supposed to. More often than not it’s our
conservate brothers and sisters who hold this view. They lament that the
times have changed,… Continue reading

SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF US
I’m not prepared to talk about all the symbols and metaphors in the movie
“The Matrix.” The entire concept of the movie is a metaphor and there could
be many valid interpretations of the symbols and metaphors in the movie. But
I keep coming back to this video. I grapple with the end of the… Continue

WHO ARE WE?
Several years, during Lent, I preached a sermon that referenced Amos 2:6,
which includes: ” Because they sell the righteous for silver, And the needy
for a pair of shoes…” I decided to take a social justice angle on this
passage, which is entirely appropriate. You see, the passage is about
justice, about the exploitation… Continue reading

EXCHANGING PROMISES WITH GOD
The following scene comes from the movie The End of the Affair
(1999), starring Julianne Moore and Ralph Feines, based on the novel by
Graham Greene. Moore and Feines have an affair in London during World War II.
They are at his flat one afternoon, when London is bombed and his flat is
hit. “I’ll give… Continue reading

“WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SICK PEOPLE IN THE GOSPEL?”
In answer to the title question, Warren Carter writes, in his commentary at
Working Preacher: The Gospel reflects its imperial world at this point. Roman
imperial structures and practices were bad for people’s health. Some 70-90
percent of folks in Rome’s empire experienced varying degrees of poverty —
from the very poorest to those who… Continue reading

ON PRAYER
I went off to college intending to become a minister. Believing that someone
with this ambition should be engaged in a regular practice of prayer, I would
often go to the prayer chapel at my church and attempt to pray. My particular
struggle with prayer has been distraction. At that prayer chapel, log ago, I…

THE SUMMER OF PAUL
It’s the summer of Paul. I needed a reason/excuse to read this tome. And,
this summer Galatians appeared in the lectionary, good reason/excuse. In
seminary, I had the good fortune to take a course at Notre Dame
University concerning Paul and his letters, taught by the late Jerome
Murphy-O’Connor. Of course we used his book, Paul: A… Continue reading

LEVITICUS
With all of the vitriol being spewed out regarding refugees and immigrants
(legal or otherwise) it’s good to see these verses from Leviticus quoted by
The Christian Left. This is THE Biblical position on refugees and
immigrants – you shall not do wrong to the stranger who sojourns with you,
legal or otherwise. And, unless you’re a Native American, in… Continue
