Well spoken, as always, Neil. My priest had a simple message for us on Easter: “Jesus Christ is not a tulip bulb.” Alas, he is not. But he is risen and “loose in the world.” Happy Easter to you, Carrie, Rowan and Ben.

Breathtaking,moving. It was wonderful to read again,but nothing can match being in my church home and hearing it spoken by someone who is loved by me and many others. Nothing could match seeing his humanity and vulnerability worn bravely. A friend shared his heart with us. And we were amazed and learned and were mightily grateful. Good work,Chief! Best Easter ever….and we’ve experienced many fine ones here.

Thank you for scholarship on Bonhoeffer, you have brought more thought about him, and I hope more thought and discussion of his ideas that apply for our church today.

From “Christ The Center”:

But faith is there when a man so surrenders himself to the humiliated God-Man that he bets his life on him, even when this seems against all sense. Faith is when the search for certainty out of visible evidence is
given up. Then it is faith in God and not in the world.
