Fun fact: Since 1995, Edwina Sandys (sculptor of Christa, in the Cathedral’s collection) has lived in the original @MTV Real World New York lofthttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/08/19/winston-churchills-granddaughters-mtv-connection …

In his sermon on Sunday, The Rev. Canon Patrick Malloy reinterpreted the often heard verse from Luke, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” that many hear as Jesus telling us to invest in that which we love.

Rather, our Sub-Dean preaches, it means that that in which we invest our time, thought, and money into is what we will come to love and he challenges us adjust our priorities accordingly.https://youtu.be/QNUWLHALEPk

And they’re off! The Cathedral Choristers, Chorale, and Choir stopped for a group photo on the steps before heading to the airport for their summer tour. They’ll be in residency at @StPaulsLondon from August 16-21 and @No1Cathedral from August 22-23. We’ll be sharing more soon!pic.twitter.com/S6VYlH88jE

As the Cathedral is cleaned in the wake of our April fire, so are objects that were inside. Thankfully, we’re home to the world renowned Textile Conservation Lab, which is in the process of cleaning many items, including the AIDS Memorial banner.More: https://www.stjohndivine.org/news/blog/1/posts/145/aids-memorial-banner …pic.twitter.com/isoMGRo8vW

Is your faith a wish or a hope or a dream?*I wish things were different.*I hope I get a good parking spot today.*I dreamed a dream of days gone by…

It’s easy for faith to live in the clouds, praying to a God somewhere out there, awaiting the day when a spaceship called heaven appears in the clouds and beams us up to fly away from the hell around us.

Our faith needs to live on the ground, to be the bucket of water thrown on this hell on earth, to come to life in prophetic actions as we stand with the oppressed and dismantle systems that perpetuate marginalization.

Is your faith inaction or in action? One little space makes a big difference.

Yes, the author of Hebrews reminds us that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. But dear anonymous author, if your faith does not get to work, it is dead.

What does your faith look like?#TuesdayThoughts

So one more time (and this isn’t rhetorical), what does your faith look like?

This is where our theology begins and ends. The points in between are necessary but if they are not supported by and leading to love, they are a nothing but a noisy gong.

God is love. The rest is commentary.

“God is love” guides our orthodoxy and our orthopraxy.

“God is love” empowers us to heal our souls and heal our world.

Love is a many splendored thing.Love lifts us up where we belong.All you need is love.God is love. Period.

“God is love” is our call to action and comfort when the work is hard.
