 Rev. Candace Sandfort's sermon on Doubt vs Certainty
In our Gospel today Jesus returns with his wounds, and when Thomas expresses his doubt, his uncertainty, Jesus does not judge or criticize him. Jesus invites Thomas to touch his wounds-put his hand in them. It is a moment of unimaginable vulnerability. . . .We don't have to be sure of everything; God does not require our certainty. Instead, God calls us to listen, to question, to doubt, to learn, and through all of this, to grow. To listen to the complete sermon, please click here.

The Rev. Candace Sandfort's sermon on Charlottesville
We need to relegate symbols of the Confederacy to a museum, or an archive, where they can stand as symbols of that slippery slope that led to our moral degradation and shame as a nation. And so Saint Paul speaks for all time the words of our epistle today: “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may discern what is the will of God--what is good, and acceptable, and perfect.”
