Epiphany
-
As the lectionary brings us to the season after the epiphany, we find ourselves jumping from story to story—but there’s a theme.
-
In the Epiphany, we focus on the light to the exclusion of the dark, celebrating the fools and rather than the hope Christ brings.
-
We always focus on the thing. And then, when it comes, our focus needs to shift. And we aren’t always thinking about what comes next.
-
In the baptism of Jesus, we are invited to look beyond the origin story of Jesus and to the work he is called to do in the world.
-
When we celebrate the baptism of Jesus, we are remembering why this, rather than birth, is the beginning of his, and our, story.

Epiphany is an ancient feast, one of the earliest feasts of the church. But it has long lived a double life.
