This Sunday carries a little extra weight. Bishop Poulson is joining us, and he'll be laying hands on a group from our parish who've spent months preparing for this moment, some affirming the faith they were raised in, others choosing it for the first time as adults. It's one of the oldest gestures in the church, a bishop's hands on someone's head, and it still means the same thing it always has: you belong to this, and this belongs to you.

We gather at 10 am. Come as you are.

Deacon Alan has watched men in prison do something he calls the ultimate miracle. Not a healed body. A changed life.

Gang members. Murderers. Thieves. Drug dealers. He has seen them go one eighty, simply because they encountered the presence of Christ.

Most of us are holding onto something smaller than a prison sentence, and just as hard to put down.

There is a place for you here.

Deacon Alan has watched men in prison do something he calls the most amazing miracle he's witnessed. Not healing. Not release. A complete change of who they are.

He's seen it with his own eyes. Men who ran the full gambit of what you can possibly imagine: drug dealers, thieves, worse. Set free not by circumstance but by an encounter with Christ. There is no resurrection without dying to what we're grasping onto and refusing to give to Christ.

There is a place for you here.

David Pendleton Oakerhater’s story is one of courage, transformation, faith, and an enduring commitment to peace.

A Cheyenne warrior and respected leader, Oakerhater was among 28 Native American prisoners taken by the U.S. Army to Fort Marion in Florida in 1875. There, his life took an extraordinary turn. He encountered the Christian faith, learned English, and eventually traveled north to study for ministry. At his baptism in Syracuse in 1878, he took the name David Pendleton Oakerhater. In 1881, he was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church.

Oakerhater returned to Oklahoma and devoted the rest of his life to serving his people—founding and supporting schools and missions and offering education, pastoral care, and Christian ministry, often in the face of profound obstacles from both the government and the Church.

He once described his new calling to his people in words that still speak powerfully today:

“You all know me. You remember when I led you out to war I went first, and what I told you was true. Now I have been away to the East and I have learned about another captain, the Lord Jesus Christ, and he is my leader. He goes first and all he tells me is true. I come back to my people to tell you to go with me now in this new road, a war that makes all for peace.”

Oakerhater died on August 31, 1931. In the decades that followed, awareness of his ministry faded—but his witness was not forgotten. His memory and legacy have been restored and honored throughout the Episcopal Church. In 2005, David Pendleton Oakerhater became the first Oklahoman and first Native American included for commemoration in the Episcopal Church’s Lesser Feasts and Fasts. His feast day is September 1.

Today, on Oakerhater Sunday, we remember not simply a figure from our history, but a life that still calls us forward: from conflict toward peace, from division toward reconciliation, and from faith professed toward faith lived in service to others.

“I come back to my people to tell you to go with me now in this new road, a war that makes all for peace.”

You don't think your way into a new life. You live your way into new thinking.

Deacon Alan shared this old adage this Sunday, working through Peter's "God forbid it, Lord" and what it costs to actually follow Christ. The point wasn't comfort. It was this: there's no resurrection without dying first to what we're grasping onto.

There's something about late August that brings people back through these doors. Suitcases unpacked, tans fading, familiar faces filling in the pews that had a little more room in them this summer. It's good to have you back.

This morning the choir sent us out with a song. Dolly Parton died this week, and as our closing today, they chose her gospel-tinged "The Seeker," clapping and all. It felt like the right way to say goodbye to someone whose music found its way into a lot of our lives, in church and out of it.

There's a place for you here, whether you've been away all summer or you're walking through our doors for the first time.

Isaiah says look to the rock you were hewn from. Jesus answers by renaming a fisherman "Rock" and building his church on him.
