Sermon Notes

  • Sermon on Pentecost 6 Proper 16 2019.docx
The Courage to Choose the Better Part

How might the violent imagery of the ancient prophet Amos connect with the serene image of Mary sitting at Jesus' feet? In this sermon Fr. Allen suggests that the connection can be made and that quite possibly it might be a strong hint as to what is required to foster a more just society.
