This is wonderful - is there a written text of it available? I can't think fast enough to keep up with the video & prefer to read.

This sermon brought tears to my eyes! I will be returning again and again to it to hear Bp.Jefferts Schori quoting Hafiz, Rabia, Meister Eckart and Rumi, all favorites of mine.

There was a partial transcription over at Father Jake's blog, and I finally just sat down and transcribed the rest. "Riverine declivities!" - honestly, I just have to love her.
