What do you think of Mr. Rogers?

I was at work and followed a link during one of my down times. The link was to a Huffington Post article by Eliot Daley, a pastor and author who worked with Fred Rogers in the early days of Mister Rogers Neighborhood [sic].

As I read it, and I strongly urge you to read it as well (the link is below), it is quite short, I was struck by the profundity of Fred Rogers’ practice of his faith. He brought it into every interaction whether it was with the children who viewed his show, his friends and family or anyone he came across.

There is much to think about in this short read and I found quite a bit of challenge in it for me too.

Enjoy.

    I don’t usually feel the need to post a non-service but this week seems different for some reason. This is what we had to drive through for enough of the trip that it seemed best to turn around and come home. In case you are wondering what you are looking at it is a road….

  • Time versus Content

    I have been thinking lately about the difference between “speaking to time” and “speaking to content.” The difference between the two may not seem that large to you but I would put it to you that it is immense . . . if not more. To give you some background, I first began “real” public…

    Sheep, shepherd, they seem to come up a lot

    Sheep and shepherd metaphors abound in the Bible. I’m not making any pronouncements but I have probably preached about anything that abounds in the Bible more than once and sheep and shepherds are certainly not an exception to this. So if I have preached about these before why not give in and preach about Mother’s…

  • A saint!? Where?

    There aren’t that many liturgically significant days attached to the calendar, Christmas Day and All Saints Day are the only two leaping to mind at the moment. It is always a delight when All Saints Day is on a Sunday. This Sunday we celebrated All Saints by spending some time thinking about what it means…

  • Christ the King

    So if last Sunday had two different sermons this Sunday only has one. This isn’t new, there have been other Sundays with one sermon but they are usually joint services. This Sunday wasn’t a joint Sunday but St. Mark’s had a “Hanging of the Greens” service which doesn’t really have preaching in it. However, Knox…
