Sermon for the Presbytery Retreat

Luke 13:10-17

I love Facebook. I resisted it for years, until I finally succumbed to keep in touch with my classmates from Bossey, once the World Council of Churches had seen enough of us and sent us all back to our countries of origin. I’ve discovered, since signing on, that Facebook hosts quite a nice little Uniting Church ministerial community. It’s where I find out what Peter and Cynthia are doing; what movies Charles has been watching; how Tony’s family is; how Marion’s settling into her new house; how life in Queensland is treating Blair. It’s also a place where colleagues can share resources that they’ve found useful, which is how I was sent an article called “No Rest for the Holy: Clergy Burnout a Growing Concern”.[1]
