Friendship in the Wilderness

February 14, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

We are told in our scriptures that all people whether they are faithful or not will go through times of wilderness. In the Bible, wilderness invokes this notion of hunger and struggle but also a place for the establishment and securing of identity.[1] We all go through wilderness. We all live through those times when … [Read more…]

A Vision of God’s Glory

February 7, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

Have you ever had one of those moments when you just knew you were experiencing a vision of the glory of God? I have them constantly. I find that I tend to have these experiences during some of the most stressful or trying times of my life. Just in time to give me strength to … [Read more…]

A New Way, A New Life

January 31, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

A new way, a new life, this is what has been offered by Christ. This is what Jesus signifies in his visit to his home synagogue with his comments after reading the scriptures? This is what we see reiterated in Paul’s description of the gifts of the spirit. With the coming of the Messiah, with … [Read more…]

Extravagant Love

January 17, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

Jesus’ miracle at the wedding in Cana appears only in the Gospel of John. But this scene at the wedding is crucial to the message of Christ as represented in the fourth Gospel. What I found as I read this passage and began to search for answers to my questions is that even the positioning … [Read more…]

You Are My Beloved

January 10, 2016 by ECC Admin

Baptism, or ritualistic purification by means of water, has been a part of almost every religion and cultural practices throughout time and history. It has been the source of religious schism and has been used to ignite battles. As I researched baptism this week and looked at the little bottle of Holy water I have … [Read more…]

Come Discover New Life

January 3, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

Today we celebrate Epiphany. Most westerns know Epiphany to be a celebration of the Wise men coming to honor Jesus for the first time. But this is not what Epiphany originally celebrated. The Epiphany tradition originates out of the Eastern Orthodox traditions and celebrates not the wise men but rather Christ’s baptism and it was … [Read more…]

What Have I to Offer the Christ Child, but to do His Work

January 2, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

I love the mystery and mysticism of the magi. I love the traditions around them and the music that accompanies Epiphany when we celebrate their arrival to the side of Jesus. I am about half way through a book about the Persians and in my reading I discovered something about the magi. Their title of … [Read more…]
