An Appointed Place
April 2, 2021 | By Jeremy Begbie
Many of us are haunted by the memory of a missed opportunity. Near the end of Graham Greene’s novel, The Power and the Glory, an old priest sits in his cell the night before his execution. He looks back over his life, thinking of all the things he could have done and should have done, could have said and should have said. As Greene has it, “He felt like someone who had missed happiness by seconds at an appointed place.”

Sept 14, 2020 | By Timothy Han SM ‘22+1
Lodged at the heart of the New Testament’s first book, the first version of the Christ story one encounters, is a thorny passage about the accessibility of God. After another of Christ’s sermons via parable, the disciples ask Jesus, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
