21st Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary Year C
Luke 17:11-19
Today's Gospel lesson about the Samaritan leper is a wonderful story of praise and thankfulness by the unlikeliest messenger of God's love. It got me thinking about how unlikely it is that I find myself as a Lutheran pastor, and the unlikely friends who guided me in this direction. This sermon contains a description of a set of circumstances vital to my faith and call as a pastor, including the role of LGBT friends therein. Happy National Coming Out Day this past Friday 10/11/13.
