In
our parish, we use the term "homily" where most
parishes use the word "sermon." While the difference
in term is a modest one, we believe that it is significant.
The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Theology says this
about a homily: A homily is
a short discourse addressed to a congregation with a view
to its spiritual edification. It is usually closely related
to a passage of scripture and is a commentary upon it.
Because we aim for short preaching (usually about 12 minutes)
and focus our preaching on the readings from scripture, homily
better describes what we do. In our preaching we seek an enlightened
approach, using the tools of contemporary scripture study,
attempting to relate the word of God to the circumstances
in which we live and to the challenge of growing in Christian
faith and development.
Homilies are published from time to time and distributed in
the common room at St. John's and are available here on the
parish web site.
To
request homilies not yet distributed,
please email your request to the rector.
