Trinity, Community, and the Image of God

Posted by Pr. Seth for Holy Trinity Sunday
Texts: Proverbs 8:1-4, 21-30; Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15

​Today we celebrate the identity of God as triune: Father, Christ and Spirit. The idea of a God that is both one and three at the same time doesn’t make a lot of sense, but that’s because it isn’t an idea that was reasoned out and created; we experienced it. Trinity is what you get when you testify to the experience that the God of Israel raised Jesus from the dead. It’s impossible to really wrap one’s head around it, but in the end, what is truly important about the idea of trinity is not what it is, but what it means.
​
Trinity teaches us about who God is.  Trinity teaches us not just that God is in relationship, but that God embodies relationship: relationship is fundamental to who God is. Looking through scripture, we see that it is full of stories of God being with: God is at the beginning in the garden, walking beside humanity. When Adam and Eve are cast out, God goes with them. God travels with Israel through the sea and across the desert, resides among the people in the temple, speaks to them through the prophets. Withness is so much of what God does that we can’t tell the story of God without it. Even our experience of God speaks to a fundamental relationship between the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In Jesus, God is with us; and even after his death, resurrection and ascension, he is still with us in the Spirit of Truth.

Posted by Pr. Seth for the seventh Sunday in Easter.
Texts: Acts 16:16-34; Revelation 22:12-21; John 17:20-26

NB: The Paschal Candle, a very large wax pillar candle, sits at the front of the sanctuary, near the font. It has been lit throughout the season of Easter, but today is dark.
Did you notice this candle here, unlit? You might be asking yourself why it’s out here if we’re not going to light it. This is, of course, the Paschal candle, or Christ candle, that we lit from the new fire on Easter Vigil to give light to our evening worship as we awaited the resurrection. It gave us light in our darkness, hope in our hopelessness. We shared its light in the darkened parish hall as we sang the Exsultet, the ancient liturgy recounting God’s saving deeds and proclaiming the hope of new life. We saw that the light shared from a candle, though it is divided, is never diminished.
