16 Aug Pastor Pat Bailey, Insights: Renunciation
My sermon on Monday, August 10, was titled “What Should I Renounce?” What does renunciation of various things have to do with the spiritual life? Is there a deeper way of letting go and self-emptying that is not a denial of our embodiment and in-earthment? A sermon based on the gospel story of a woman washing the feet of Jesus with her tears.
