		<description><![CDATA[Readings for Sunday, March 1, 2010
The question for me, growing out of the Genesis reading for this week, is “What does it mean to live as though God is faithful?”
After all, Abraham had lots of reason not to trust in God. He received in a vision a bunch of outlandish promises about land and descendants, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readings for February 14, 2010
The roots of Valentine’s Day are hazy and obscure – the day has more cache as a Hallmark holiday than anything else. Wikipedia says there were a host of early Christian martyrs named Valentine – probably Feb 14 was chosen in honour of a priest who died in 270 and was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readings for Sunday Feb 7, 2010
I was in the church on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, overhearing my Pentecostal colleague preaching about power. A Filipino Pentecostal church uses our space on Sunday afternoons, and I’m usually long gone by then, but this week I was intrigued. I didn’t hear the whole sermon; didn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lessons for Sunday January 31, 2010
I’m astonished by the commentators I read on this passage who suggested that this story is an example of how the Jews rejected Jesus. In this day and age is that really something we have to keep addressing over and over again?  I think that any interpretation of any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readings for November 15, 2009
What are we waiting for? What kind of world is God bringing to birth?
We always read about the end of the world in November – the Lectionary has us focus on texts like these just before we start the year afresh with Advent 1. It’s a time to think about God’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readings for November 8, 2009
The story of the widow’s mite never made sense to me. How could it be that Jesus would praise anyone who gave away her last means of support, even to the Temple? Sure it makes sense to say that her gift cost her more than anybody else’s … but so what? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readings for October 25, 2009
We’ve just spent a couple of weeks wrestling with Job, and now we get a story about Jesus healing a blind beggar. It sort of feels like we’re moving from theory to practice.
It takes an awful lot of things to go wrong before one becomes a beggar – either in our [...]]]></description>

There’s a lot of fiddle-faddle written about the place of children in 1st century Palestine and Judaism – I’ve been wading through some of it while I read through what the scholars are saying about Jesus’ aphorism, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes [...]]]></description>

I am without a doubt the wrong person to be trying to comment on Michael Jackson. Even though I&#8217;ve been aware of him all my life, I&#8217;ve never been a fan, never bought a recording, never gone to a concert. I know more about him now that he&#8217;s dead than I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readings for June 21, 2009
David and Goliath is such an archetypal “underdog” story that it’s worthwhile reflecting for a bit about why we respond to underdogs. Whether it’s politicians that aren’t supposed to get beyond the first primaries, or 47-year-old singers who’ve never been kissed but go on to wow the cynical judges of “Britain’s [...]]]></description>
