Today, I preached for the first time! At the Eucharist at the St John the Divine I delivered a sermon on Jesus’ call of the twelve apostles—a call to be with him and to go out. In an increasingly divided church and world, it’s good to be reminded that God intends us to do our work together.

At the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine for the funeral of the XIV Bishop of New York, Richard Grein.

“For to your faithful people, O Lord, life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.”

Reading C. Brooke’s “The Age of the Cloister,” the first history of monasticism I’ve read. Given the diversity of religious communities today, I’m surprised by the uniquely central place Benedictine life has had in monasticism and the church in the west.

What should I read next on religious life?
