The Very Rev Daniel P Richards speaks to the John
and James text in the context of an American culture that is almost phobic
about being sterile and clean. He speaks to how practices either religious or
otherwise can overshadow our divine relationship and be reduced to being judgmental
of people who do not act like us.
Revised
Common Lectionary for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost:
Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good
things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true
religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good
works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
