Dear Saints in Santa Fe, and other far-off places— Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, who crossed the Sea of Galilee to a foreign and inhospitable land. This land seems closer than ever before. You may recall last week we left Jesus and his disciples on a boat after a storm and there was a great calm following Jesus’ pronouncement “Peace, be still!” How can I experience that peace after the Supreme Court’s recent pronouncements that have upended our understanding of democracy? How can I be still when our cherished system based on the rule of law has been, by all evidence, upended by partisan judgments not based on precedence nor the Constitution?

Dear Saints in Santa Fe, and other far-off places— Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, who told four of his disciples they should go “across to the other side” in Mark 4:35-41, our scripture for this Sunday.
