                                                                                                                                                                  On Sermons and Reflections

                                                                                                                                                                  A good way to read a sermon, if you attend or have been to Grace, is to "hear" the preacher's voice. More importantly, a sermon--or a passage from scripture or a reading from our spiritual tradition--can give us the excuse we need in our busy lives to slow down: get coffee, tea, or something else to drink, find a comfortable chair in a quiet place, and read, reflect, and/or pray for half an hour.
