What is a more important Kingdom Action priority, gun violence prevention, creation care, or racial justice? What often gets our attention is whatever is trending on the news cycle. I am no exception. Two trips to Canada within the last year highlight this tension....

(I offered these reflections today at The Falls Church Anglican) This Good Friday, we remember the seven last words of Jesus from the cross. Seven last gasps. The Apostle John said of Jesus that if a person tried to write down all the things he did and said, the...

This past week I was pleased and privileged again to attend the Matthew 25 Gathering, where folks from the Anglican Church of North America gather to encourage each other in the ways that God has called us to work for the Kingdom, and work for justice with mercy. ...

Earlier this week Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for illegal acts committed while in service to Donald Trump. Until this week I’ve not given much thought to Michael Cohen and bear him no ill will, but I do think his story warrants attention as a...

Last week’s news in America was terrible, shocking, depressing, and filled with sadness. The mail bombs from Florida, the targeted killing of African Americans in Kentucky, and the massacre of Jews in Pittsburgh can’t help but raise the questions of our country,...

What a sweet and tender Lenten season for many of us here in Baltimore who have been journeying together with George Hopkins and the Repentance Project. We have encountered great darkness and brokenness in our past with tentacles that reach into the present. We opened...

In every way Jesus was the Great Reconciler, bridging the gap between God and us, and also bringing together disparate and divided people into community and even family. To follow this man is to sign up to be a reconciler and peacemaker, especially in places and times...

One of the greatest gifts God has given me through Coracle is an invitation to respond meaningfully to the ongoing process of healing the lasting legacy of racial injustice in the United States. As much as I would wish that we were a city and country where love and...

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “There is another element that must be present in our struggle that then makes our resistance and nonviolence truly meaningful. That element is reconciliation. Our ultimate end must be the creation of the beloved community.” On Saturday,...

by: Katie Kallam Going into my pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I knew that I would encounter holy places, sites where Jesus walked, where he lived and died, but I knew very little about the modern Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I...

Sometimes I struggle with the dual nature of Christ: fully God and fully man. For me, it’s easier to see him as divine than as human. It keeps Him at a comfortable distance. From March 28 – April 6 I traveled with a group of 25 other pilgrims in the Holy Land...
