"For millennia, we as the Church have cultivated, amplified and internalized a culture of purity instead of holiness that has left women shamed and blamed, subjugated and closeted. This must be said … and we must look at what restorative justice looks like in the face of millennia of the Church literally appropriating the voice of God to tell God's beloved children they are less than and shameful....

" The epiphany of God's love in the Song of Songs and in the life of Jesus is a love, both human and divine, that does not coerce.  Our bodies are the epicenters of sensuality and holy joy to be cherished and shared —if we so choose. "   Sermon by Sally Howard from the virtual bilingual Spanish/English Worship at All Saints Church, Pasadena at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 7, 2021. Readings: Canta...

"The longtime Rabbi-in-residence of All Saints Church, Reverend Regas's partner and friend, Rabbi Leonard Beerman, of blessed memory, said it this way: 'Yes, there are always enemies of hope all around us, and in us. But there are also allies everywhere. There is a lot of love out there. There is, in truth, in every one of us, a coercion to love.' Feel it. Feel it. It cannot be stifled. Amen." Ser...

"It is good and right and necessary for us to pause in this moment and breathe … and let this vision of tomorrow wash over us and flow through us. To let it strengthen our weary bones and calm our anxious hearts. And … we need to remember that though it is good and right that we rest for a time, that dreams do not become reality by themselves. Because Amanda did not stop there. Because it is not e...

"This brief Gospel reading is a Master Class in how the world and the church have treated women to this very day. Stripped of her name. Identified only by her relationship to a man. Used as a prop in a story told about a man, by men and for men. And when it is all done, simply noted that she got back to work." "Esta breve lectura del Evangelio es una clase magistral en la forma en que el mundo y l...

"Now it's interesting when it says 'Love your enemies' in the text that 'love your enemy' is not necessarily excusing them. It does acknowledge that there are enemies. There are those who shall oppose us in such a way that we feel as though we must go to war. And another piece about this text that is interesting to me is the way in which -- because I said earlier it says 'love your enemies' and th...

"They brought a cross. They brought a noose. They were unaware of the irony. We must be sure that we are not." "Trajeron una cruz.  Trajeron una soga.  No fueron conscientes de la ironía. Debemos estar seguros de que nosotros no lo estemos. " Sermon by Mike Kinman from the virtual bilingual Spanish/English Worship at All Saints Church, Pasadena at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 17, 2021. Readings: G...

" The 'othering' of human siblings is as old as the prophets and as new as whatever social media platform they're cooking up to replace Twitter. It is s arguably an 'original sin' — if we understand sin as that which separates us from God as the Source of love who calls us to 'choose this day'to love our neighbors as ourselves. And we must choose love." Sermon by Susan Russell from virtual worship...

"The light shines in the bleakness, and the bleakness did not overtake it. There are no right words to make it better.  There is no practice, medication or maxim that will bring us back what we have lost. There is no practice, medication or maxim that will bring us back what we have lost. There is no timetable for grief except that which emerges from the one who is grieving. There is only the ligh...

"There are powers beyond our comprehension and manipulation. Powers that meet us in our moments of greatest vulnerability. Powers that we are facing this morning as we bid farewell to George and begin to face a life without his presence here on earth.  There are powers beyond our comprehension and manipulation … and our response to those powers is to try to trust in them, to be humbled by them and...

"We know that nothing magical will happen at midnight when 2020 clicks over to 2021. We will still be deep in this pandemic. We will still be a nation of liberty for some but not for all. We will still carry the griefs on our heart from all those we have lost this year and the fear for those who lie dying even as we gather in our homes this night to watch … and wait … and hope.   And yet as we wat...

"And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stands puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so? "It came in our loneliness. It came in our dread. "It came as too many are dying in bed. "It came without hugs. Without the timpani's boom. "It came socially distant, home watching on Zoom. "The child is still born, the angels still bring. "Good news of great joy, and so we still sing. "W...

" The irony of Jesus' later followers choosing a miraculous birth story somehow to proclaim him as special is that what actually made Jesus special was his ability somehow to resist the rest of the world's denial that everyone is special. His ability to remember that every birth is a miracle, that every life is a wonder – and to treat everyone as such. The revolutionary power of Jesus is not summe...

From the All Saints Archives: A sermon preached by George Regas laying the foundation for decades of All Saints Church putting faith into action in the world. "The soundest thinking in the world without love in action is of little worth. I think God's deep concern with us today it's not the correctness of our creeds but the quality of our deeds as we build our house of faith on the rock of love."...
