Atonement as Reconciliation - Sarah Elizabeth Smith

04/16/18 • 15 min

Today, I’m posting a sermon I gave over spring break when I was in Breckenridge Colorado. Fr. Charlie Brumbaugh of St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church was kind enough to let me share a homily with his community during a Eucharistic service on March 21st 2018. In this sermon I am using the Lent 5 gospel text which is John 12:20-33. I explore the idea of atonement as reconciliation.
