kairos comotion lectionary dialogue kairos comotion lectionary dialogue comments on the texts of the revised common lectionary from a progressive christian perspective saturday november 26 2016 kcm lectionary blog restart as previously announced the kcm lectionary blog has currently suspended active posting because its author is working on another project that officially begins sunday november 27 2016 you are invited to follow wilderness urgency according to mark is wesley white s next project the imagery of wilderness in both its danger and retreat renewal aspects has occurred enough that wesley finally paid attention the particular stimuli for this particular were repeated nudgings from memories of mark and the latest american political season mark does not lay out 3 orderly temptations in the wilderness he only indicates there were testings there and those testings seem to keep cropping up all the way to and including the end of the story where people run away from renewal and yet find a good message in one another in wildernessurgency wesley will look at the gospel according to mark verse by verse postings of this slow daily walk through mark will contain a next verse in mark from the openenglishbible followed by a stanzaic response from wesley and comments that will attend to both technical details and contemporary relevance note the stanzas have no punctuation so read them aloud to see where the words would like to relate to one another you are welcome to follow along and comment in two ways 1 there will be a daily posting at wildernessurgency org you are welcome to visit there read and comment 2 i am also experimenting with a mailchimp sending of the daily posting to those who would like to receive it as an email to try this process that can be unsubscribed from at any time go to eepurl com cqvrmt and enter your name and email as indicated this is an experiment if it doesn t work there are other processes that might function for those desiring an email rather than going to a website let me know if you sign up and either don t receive any emails or they come in an unusable format thank you for your support through the last 14 years here s a picture i took in the badlands south dakota to encourage you in the midst of whatever state of wilderness is currently engaging you yes deserts can bloom you are called to join the blooming

2016 end of this lection notice of a new project this lectionary blog has come to its end there will be a new set of writings about wilderness urgency according to mark coming soon when that notice is ready it will be posted here and announced elsewhere many thanks for your attending here over the past 15 years posted by wesley white at wednesday november 02 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday july 04 2016 luke 10 25 37 year c pentecost 8 or community practice 8 july 10 2016 luke 10 25 37 legal experts are like children pushing and pulling to find the limits of their situation limits here are both minimum and maximum if i am going to plan a trajectory toward some goal or desire in this case something called eternal life what will describe how little and how much i need to do to achieve this outcome not attending to a basic entrance fee or overdoing the good to the point of whatever works righteousness is would both disqualify one so is this your question or not in a culture of none religion we are more likely to hear this spoken of in terms of self actualization or manifestation language this reverses the classic striving to arrive at eternity to a question of how to attract eternity into my sphere a question about questions is a necessary starting point for a pericope responding to a question did jesus help with setting a minimum limit to enter eternity did he leave us with additional questions to engage our potential disengagement from both dogma and experience scripture and story in good socratic fashion jesus responds with a question that pushes the lawyer and ourselves what is the basis of your interpretation of what is going on around you this has and will haunt us beyond our sophomore bull sessions limit explorations note the temptation to settle into extending what we consider to be right fair limiting only now is a story appropriate after dealing with a legalist s question with a legal question still we are left with a question which response was neighborly everyone seems to know it is the third person in a story that becomes the hero in this case the qualifying quality of the hero is that of mercy now the invitation with an implied next question go and do likewise show mercy to all your relatives how is that working for you now that you have tried premeditated mercy your report or next question is posted by wesley white at monday july 04 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 27 2016 luke 10 1 11 16 20 year c pentecost 7 or community practice 7 july 3 2016 luke 10 1 11 16 20 a next try for jesus messengers we have just heard of post transfigurational attempts to live out jesus focus on engaging g d closely enough that it will change the way we interact with one another first a failed healing 9 40 this is followed with failed learning by failing to ask clarifying questions 9 45 and vying for institutional bragging rights of succession 9 46 there is an attempt to blame another so i ll look better 9 49 last week it was messengers sent ahead to reprise the blame game with harm being added to accusation and excuses aplenty 9 51 62 after all this jesus tries girding the disciples in nothing but one another this seems to have had some effect as they report out of joy rather than status apparently healings are now possible and there is a brief respite from the internecine behavior previously evidenced and still evident today end of the story here is rejoice in nothing read that again again know that what follows 10 21 24 is jesus closet prayer that the slow of head and heart had a moment of glimpsing something larger the importance of nothing we won t get to this in the lectionary in a following week so it will be important to acknowledge here that this gets turned from insight into a doctrine of exclusiveness contrary to the parentheses of nothing that bracket this story this is fair warning to warn that triumphalism lurks everywhere and is a dead end attractive but idolatrous posted by wesley white at monday june 27 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 20 2016 luke 9 51 62 year c pentecost 6 or community practice 6 june 26 2016 luke 9 51 62 this pericope will be the text of my final sunday time at a 9 month return to the pastoral ministry as the time approached when wesley was to be re retired he determined to follow a vision of peace beyond understanding too easily translated into religious idolatry of place who knows whether i will be more preaching to myself or to the congregation the messengers developed from a 9 month run some leaving some joining in will be entering known difficulties that will put them on edge and doubt their work of preparation their temptation will be that of every thwarted suitor or missionary consign an ideal but reluctant beloved to whatever is meant by hell by our very ardor we are spoken to as sternly as we desired to strike others it will be important to spend time here imaging what stern words jesus used as quiet as those words may have been remember how proactive jesus was with the gerasene and how gently he left that land when rejected they were remembered as very bracing indeed what is more important than winning or revenge of such did jesus speak the following interactions reinforce a difficulty with dealing with a weak jesus not needing an american style of fantasized success power money fame these reprise the mistake of the messengers asked to prepare a community for a non messiah first we hear i ll follow by preparing a way and jesus says you prepared for the wrong thing there is no expectation of results or you will be as disappointed as pigs in non houses make of sticks secondly we hear jesus repeating the request to be messengers none the less and the erstwhile messengers are revealed in their priority to meet social norms before their work of preparation beyond the limits of today it is to this subtle idolatry of comfortability that jesus reminds us that there is no returning to any past glory to arrive at new life burial is no way to get to resurrection resurrection is a state of being ready in this moment not the painting of a pre numbered outline your preparation for me is to tell of your own healing and already resurrection in the midst of a dead culture in good story telling fashion we return to point one and bring in point two this drives home the message that there is no going home again yes browse your thomas wolfe again there is no stopping of time particularly with jesus for anything that smacks of settling for this reward that contingency or some other partiality friends we don t stop to settle scores we advance where we can we take our lumps we continue telling new stories until they arrive and build a framework for a next tale less full of sound and fury time creeps up on silent paws as we prepare for what can t be prepared for in final moments we set our answer to a misheard call mistaking endings for a begining and in this mismatch have ready excuses why prepartions need not engage our life s story we miss an arc and settle for storm disappointed preparations follow following and more preparations anew posted by wesley white at monday june 20 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday june 10 2016 galatians 2 15 21 year c pentecost 4 or community practice 4 june 12 2016 galatians 2 15 21 the faithfulness of jesus here equates to the grace of g d faithfulness is thus parallel to grace this is a worthy comparison to contemplate over time play with the 60 s song i fought the law and the law won is this the same as paul s i died to the law through the law this loss could very well be a crucifixion similar to every other conversion experience that moves from what appears to be a losing proposition to an expected winning side a question for paul is why the issue of righteousness remains so important if we are working by grace rather than law grace doesn t line up as well with righteousness as does law posted by wesley white at friday june 10 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday june 08 2016 psalm 5 1 8 year c pentecost 4 or community practice 4 june 12 2016 psalm 5 1 8 a psalm for the flutes flutes are ancient instruments of hearing again a creative breath moving over the deep in tones too precious to be turned into everyday words here we move from groans to clarity by way of the lens of enemies consider the gift of your enemies that refine your being can you hear that far off song hailing yet another creation thank a flautist for momentarily embodying this ancient tune and do your very best to return these weary and wobbly words to a breath over a hole for the moment i will refrain from adding one
