Living Epistle: Roberta Cameron

I believe in angels. I look back on many occasions in my life when unexpected words of strangers have penetrated my soul, opened my eyes to something I knew in my gut to be truth.

Sunday, May 21, 2006 Living Epistle Once a month at my church, we have what is called a "Living Epistle" -- what in less "high-church" traditions might be called a "testimony" -- where a member of the congregation talks about the ways in which God has been moving in their lives recently. Today, I gave the Living Epistle at my church. The text is posted here.

Living Epistle January 15, 2006 I have always been religious. Even as a child, although my parents were not church goers. My mother has been heard to remark “How did George get so religious? It was nothing I did!”

"Living Epistle" given by Pat Haynes on October 9th 2005

Good Morning everyone my name is Patricia Haynes “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me”, Philippians 4:13. I need to hear myself say that. When I was asked by Michael our Minister, and Tom Tufts, to do a living epistle, my first reaction was fear and rejection, what I really said was…“oh no not I”, I’ll have a heart attack or panic attack if I have to face the entire congregation, but they assured me that no such think would happen, and that I would be OK.

"Living Epistle" April 10th 2005 by Mark Agard

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" Proverbs 3:5

When I was first asked to do a Living Epistle I was afraid. Once I got over my fear, I forgot the date and I had to e-mail Tom and ask him to tell me the date again. After that was done, I did not know what to talk about, and once I got over that, I began to see what the real problem was. I had little faith or trust in God. I was trying very hard to decipher why I had been selected. I was attempting to decide what was best for me because I knew this was going to be uncomfortable for me. What I should have been doing was asking God for guidance and allowing him to direct my path. Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" I was not doing that, and I was ashamed to admit it to myself, never mind anyone else.

Steve Clark's "Living Epistle"at St. James's, March 13 2005

The first and the last thing I want to say is how much I love you.
Really. As a congregation and in many cases individually.
Be that as it may, I am going to take the opportunity of this epistle to say something offensive:
I don't believe any of this stuff.
I don't believe in the creeds or the miracles or any of it.
You see, my story, in this epistle, is about a fight between belief and faith.
When I was six years old in Sunday school they told me about Adam and Eve and Noah and the Ark and I said to myself:
This makes no sense at all! These people are insane.
