Row Row Row Your Boat - The Rev. Melanie W. J. Slane

Sermons from the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

In his arms, he holds an infant, and he says, "Be like this." Innocent, and dependent upon one another, unstained by the world; and open to being formed. Be like this. Curious seekers with BIG emotions. Be creative and adaptable; imitating me. Someone you can trust. Welcome the vulnerable into your midst, and be like them. For the leader among you is like the one who serves. There is a reason why, in the Gospels, Jesus implores his believers, his followers to be like little children. Born anew to a living hope.
