Ordinary Sunday 10A: “With reference to God and Abraham and Sarah, Christ and the Church, the Uniting Church in Australia and the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress, covenant means relationship: invitation and collaboration.

“Christians have misused stories of land and promise in ways that have deeply harmed Indigenous peoples and cultures. So we ask not, ‘What can we claim?’ but, ‘How can we become a blessing here, with humility and respect?’”

Ordinary Sunday 10A: “Our focus reading from Genesis 12 sees Abram and Sarai at the beginning of their journey, under starry skies, young at heart and growing wise (there’s wisdom that only comes with years of experience). Praying, longing.

“God says: ‘Go to a place I will show you.’”

Trinity Sunday A: “Real love bears this trinitarian imprint. It does not possess or control. It does not reduce others to labels. It does not close the world down.
 
“The papal encyclical Magnifica Humanitas speaks of this love when it calls for technologies that serve human flourishing and human dignity, and asks how artificial intelligence might be used in pursuit of real wisdom.
 
“Love opens us to reverence: reverence for people, bodies, stories, cultures, creatures, rivers, trees, songs, places, and the world still coming into being.”

Trinity Sunday A: “‘Perichoresis’ is one of the old and beautiful words in Christian theology. It comes from Greek words meaning ‘around’ and ‘to make room for’—and it has sometimes been heard as a kind of dance.
 
“So, the Trinity is not a puzzle to solve. It is a way of speaking about God as the Dance of Life: generative, healing, enlivening.”

Pentecost A: “Referring to a famous folk-gospel refrain—‘The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind’—one commentator says: ‘We listeners are invoked individually … yet we are also a group, as the song’s main theme touches on collective topics—racism, war, and apathy …

“Having heard the questions—‘How many roads … How many times … How many ears … How many deaths …?’—we are now primed for the answer, ready to listen to the wind’” (T. Hampton).

Pentecost Sunday A: “This week I’m reading a book on the two hemispheres of the brain, and how each attends to the world. One narrows, grasps and categorises; the other attends more broadly, openly and relationally—to context, music, metaphor, living presence and the whole (see Iain McGilchrist, The Matter with Things, 2023).

“Our modern world often favours the narrower mode: control, abstraction, usefulness. So perhaps we need, more than ever, good spiritual traditions and practices—the Spirit who guides us into all truth—not as possession, but as wisdom, wonder and shared life.”

Pentecost Sunday A: “In the church, we celebrate how the wind or breath of God has in-spirited human beings to live highly of themselves—boldly, generously. The work of this Spirit, most wholly, is to draw all creation, including human beings, into the radiance of Christ.”

Easter 7A: “Christ has won the victory over the real enemies of life: deathly intimidation, violence, and every power that divides and destroys.”

Easter 7A: “The God who rises up against the powers that crush life is revealed in Christ, who prays for a people shaped by love.”
