Sermon Audio 7/14/2013

Lutheran Church of the Savior, Kalamazoo

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary Year C

Luke 10:25-37

Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the most famous and instructive stories in all of scripture or Christian history. The lawyer's question, "And who is my neighbor?" really sticks with me, because it mirrors my own impulse for self-justification.

George Zimmerman Found Not Guilty in Death of Trayvon Martin

These are links I found helpful in processing this story tonight.

Legal stuff from Slate and The Atlantic.

A pastoral letter from ELCA Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson, from March 2012, along with a letter he signed along with other denominational leaders from Churches Uniting in Christ (.pdf).

Michael Skolnick has been a must-follow on Twitter on this and other hot-button topics.

Cord Jefferson on what it means to be a young black man in America.

Pastor Steve Jerbi of All Peoples Church in Milwaukee, with a great reflection on privilege, very helpful in my context.
