April 19, 2020: Sermon by the Rev. Margaret Bullitt-Jonas

“We might wish very ardently that none of this wounding of our dear planet was happening – that we weren’t seeing dying coral and melting icecaps, or rising seas and growing numbers of refugees. Yet, it is happening. And just as on Good Friday, the disciples could not pretend that Christ’s wounds on the cross were not real, so to we can’t pretend that the wounds to God’s creation are not real.”

The Reverend Margaret Bullitt-Jonas, Missioner for Creation Care for the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts, preached at the celebration of the Holy Eucharist on Sunday, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
