Christian Dignity Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Every nobody can become somebody, and that is why everybody is worthy of investment. This is God's view of man, for it was while we were yet sinners that Christ died for the ungodly. God is no haphazard and foolish investor.

Evangelizing The Cities Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 28, 2015

20/26 Vision (Part 2): Ghost In The Machine: Imago Dei Vs.the Synthetic Self Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 13, 2026

In 2026, machines are becoming more human while we become more like machines. As AI mimics our voices, we face a crisis of "Synthetic Identity"—losing the soul to the system. But there is a "Ghost" in your design no code can replicate. Stop being data; reclaim the Image of God.

In this year 2026, we are facing an identity crisis unlike any in human history. As Artificial Intelligence blurs the line between the made and the created, and as our digital avatars become more polished than our actual faces, we have to ask the oldest question that ever was: What does it mean to ...read more

Doubt, Dignity, And Discovery

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2010

Often we are not credible because we do not accept others’ doubt as real, nor do we permit them to retain their dignity. We are called simply to invite them on a voyage of discovery where they will find that their hurts are healed.

What do you do when you try to help, and those you are helping are not sure they want that help? What do you say when someone has a need, you propose an answer to that need, but they don’t believe that what you want to give will really do any good?

Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 21, 2009

In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more
