"The role of the shepherd is a matter of presence more than anything else. Political forces, social mores, and plain stupidity are powerful and real enemies of faith. Confrontation is critical, but it does not change opinions. Ultimately, presence is what changes hearts."
The Rev. Tom Honderich preaches on the fourth Sunday of Easter (May 7, 2017).
Readings: Acts 2:42-47; 1 Peter 2:19-25; John 10:1-10; Psalm 23
