Jesus dies on the cross

| Posted on |

Do you own a Guatemalan stole? Perhaps this story will make it even more holy. The Rev. Scott McLeod reflects on the twelfth Station of the Cross: Jesus dies on the cross. He tells a story of a brave priest who ministered—and was ultimately murdered—among the people of Guatemala.

Jeremiah’s Complaint

| Posted on |

Alienated and resented, Jeremiah has borne the weight of resentment. That’s what happens to whistleblowers and to those who reveal unpopular and uncomfortable truths. Dry and brittle, Jeremiah speaks to God of his discontent, accusing God with these honest words, “Truly, you are to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail.”

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition.  The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity.  Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.

The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
