Reflections on Scripture
and the life of faith
by the Rev. Elsa Worth and others
from St. James Episcopal Church in Keene, NH
We all have earthly authority in one way or another - at church, at our jobs, in our family, out in our community. We can be in charge of many different things in this life. Even a child is in charge of cleaning their own room.
Read MoreWe pray for those in authority because power can so easily corrupt and one’s highest ideals can so easily take a back seat.
Read MoreThere are so many stories in the gospels about Jesus being rather harsh, I’m surprised that the prevalent view of Jesus as meek and mild persists!
Read MoreGod alone is more powerful than slaveowners, kings or queens, presidents, senators, governors or mayors.
Read MoreThe prophet's very challenging task is to speak the truth even when it's risky or may ruffle the feathers of those in power.
Read MoreAuthority and power go hand in hand, and that's why people who are feeling powerless often resent authority so deeply.
Read MoreWeekly at 9:30 at St. James.
We hope you can join us for Sunday worship
The service is also streamed on our Facebook page and our website
Pocket of Peace ( a service of peaceful prayer) at 12 noon online
