From Egypt to Ferguson
I've written before about the lectionary and how I like the idea that all Episcopalians listen to the same lessons on any given Sunday wherever they may be.
This past Sunday, the Old Testament lesson was Exodus 1:8-2:10, which started out with the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt.
In her sermon, Tricia repeated the first few lines from the lesson. She then went on to compare the situation long ago in Egypt to the current state of affairs in Ferguson, Missouri.
Many at St. Dunstan's were moved listening to her sermon that morning, and I am sure you will be moved as well by reading it here.
Remember, you can always find past sermons by going to St. Dunstan's website.

It's not just Episcopalians who are hearing the same readings on any given Sunday. So are Catholcs and so are other Protestant denominations.
We are all "People of the Book" and all on the same page.
