This is an edited-down portion of a sermon I delivered during a difficult week in America, and for which I was recently interviewed for a piece of combating racism through challenging privilege. +bg
What a privilege it is to stand with you and your parents today, surrounded by your family and friends, supported by this faith community, and you in the midst of us, a living, breathing, cooing sign of the love of God.
As you are baptized today, I can’t help but think about, dream about and consider the unlimited possibilities for your bright future. You are so obviously loved, and when you are loved like that, unconditionally and lavishly, then, the future can only be bright.
