Description
Saint Pauls Church in Philadelphia where most of these sermons were given is reminiscent in architecture to those old pilgrimage churches of France, with its rose window and gargoyles, flying buttress and flche that pierces the horizon of Chestnut Hill. At one time the cross at the top of the flche was the highest point in Philadelphia. Coming to Saint Pauls brings one to a place of peace for me, as one parishioner described it that helps me to try and work towards peace in the world. An omen of peace for the parish is how our third rector described a gathering of clergy from North and South at Saint Pauls only six months after Lincolns assassination. Enemies just months prior, they now stood before God at the altar of Saint Pauls. A hundred years later in May of 1962, the parish established a memorial and planted a Red Oak on Rogation Day to honor Dag Hammarskjld and all who died for world peace. In a night of disunity and polarization that marks the opening of a third millennium, the sermons and meditations in this book describe what is taking place beyond a flaring together that holds the brilliant prospect of peace. This is the pilgrimage that is worth taking.
