The Rev. Katherine Bush: February 23, 2025
Down through the trapdoor, God’s kingdom is a place where grace is an antidote to violence and retribution. It’s a realm where tenderness and kindness are signs of strength and resistance because once we go down we understand that the love and generosity we show is a revelation of who we are and how we choose to live.

The Rev. Scott Walters: February 16, 2025
Jesus loved and sought out people on the margins. Foreigners and sinners. The unclean and the poor. Women and heretics and more. He sought them out because he wanted them to see they were beloved and blessed by God.
Calvary is an eclectic bunch of Christian people who don’t all think the same thoughts, or dress the same way, or vote for the same candidates, or even believe all the same things about the mystery of God and what it means to be human. But we believe we need each other because of our differences, not in spite of them. So, whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever joys or burdens you carry, you are welcome at Calvary Episcopal Church.
