From the Via Anglicana to the Villa Anglicana
Just hours after submitting my last paper for seminary, I was on a plane to El Salvador with three other members of my seminary for an 8-day mission trip to the Episcopal Church in El Salvador.
The rough-hewn cross at Cristo Rey, a mission church with posts, roof beams, and five copies of the Book of Common Prayer. Next year, they hope to build the walls. A pig grazes in the distance.

Baring oneself to goodbye
The problem with getting ready to leave a seminary where one has lived, studied, worshipped, eaten, and partied for three years is that everyone wants to process our imminent departure. After all, most of us are people people.
There are multiple worship services with “goodbye” as the central theme of the readings and hymns. Seminarians preaching near the end of the year deliver tearjerking sermons and readings on “goodbye.” Dramatic types perform skits about it.

Sermon on 3 Epiphany, 2012
[This sermon was preached in New Haven, CT in January, 2012, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, a historically black church with an illustrious history of discipleship and ministry.]
In 2006, I ran my first marathon, the California International Marathon in Sacramento. I took a marathon training class at the community college where I taught, and so I got coaching on building up my miles, keeping enough sugar in me during the race, and pacing myself. My coach said she’d be jogging around the racers at the last few miles to see how we were doing. Well, by the time I saw her, it was mile 23. That meant I had only 3.2 miles to go, but I was tired. Really tired. And everything hurt. I had already tried slowing down to a walk, but that hurt just as much. Who wanted to hurt longer?
When I saw Linda, I waved her over, and she started running beside me. She asked, “How ya doin’?”
