Worship Service: Family (may include music) - September 10, 2017

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 10, 2017
Religion is fundamentally idealistic. It shows us a way of being that at first is just an idea that we hope to make a reality. Pragmatism can seem like compromising on our ideals to get things done.

But Zion said, "Jehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me." Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb?

Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralRationality
Doctrinal Class - May 03, 2017
Freedom and rationality are the two basic capacities that make us human. We spend a lot of time talking about the nature of freedom, but less on the nature of rationality. In some ways you could say that all of the problems facing the world today are because we are not bringing our rationality to bear on the issue, or that we are doing it in the wrong way. This three class series explores what it is and is not, and how to use what the Lord has given us better. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Social HallHow the Lord Views Us

Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralHow the Lord Sees Us When We Do Wrong
