Of ministry and the last 16 to 20 ive gotten at this particular store called sagrata. So i wanted to invite the owners of the store that ive gone to in oakland for all these years and its a privilege and a blessing to have the guests and the owners here this morning, and thats mary and carloobusby. Tell us. Why sagrata, the name, the history, its your 20th 20th anniversary next year. This year is 20 years, yeah. We began the story in what was a little horse stable at the turn of the century for the telegraph avenue street cars. These were the car barns and so sagrata was born in a stable, and the neighborhood that were in is the word for the sacred ceremonial sweat lodge, and so the land that were on is sacred ground so it makes sense that our store or someplace that honors the tradition of the sacred is in our neighborhood. The word sagrada is the spanish word for sacred and our theme is the sacred and we celebrate the sacred in many traditions. I see. Its been 20 years coming up this
Peace and forgiveness, especially those who imprisoned him. Thats major when we talk about prison being so essential to our faith and hes practicing it. I think thats very impactful not just for the Christian Church but the world. Mandela is the number one story of 2013. Make the assessment, it was mandela and then id say pope francis. Just chose him as the person of the year because hes in the center of all the major conversations of our time. Conversations about wealth, poverty, fairness, justice, transparency, technology, about globalization, the role of women, the nature of marriage, the temptations of power. Heres a man who comes along without weapons of mass destruction but has tremendous power. Every time he tweets, the world looks at it. He has that kind of influence. Whats your sense with him . Are you optimistic hes going to move positively in the issues . Im hopeful. I think some of the theology and the philosophy is going to be a challenge but it seems like hes the kind of
Heights outside of sacramento. Thats right. And reverend. Tony ken jins. Great to have you both. Absolutely. Always. Youre going to be saying a little bit about easter. What was easter like for you guys and how do you approach. It is the corner stone of our faith at christians. We celebrate the resurrection. This is a time of renewal and restoration in the lives of believers of jesus christ and so for us easter is a time for celebration, a time for continuing to pass on the great tradition of this is why we believe because we have a savior that loved us that god was willing to sacrifice gods only son for the entire world. It is a joyous time for us stho. Thank you. Anthony . I agree with reverend bobby that i also feel that like the title of my sermon, ser ruer recollection leads to resurrection and i feel that the resurrection of our lord and savior jesus christ, it was about change and progressing and moving feared and i feel thats where we should be. Whether than marking a begin oka
Joy to welcome one of my friendd colleagues who is one of the leg theologians for the last 30 yeas as he has written a lot of theo, spirituality. Dr. Matthew fox is is with us. Great to see you. Thank you. Always great to see you. Great. You have another book out. This is on hildegard. Why hildegard . Well the Catholic Church cand her a saint in october and made her a doctor of the church. Thee have only been three known wome. Its one thing to be a saint bua doctor of the church carries spl energy with it, i guess. Theyre i guess. Theyre saying hey, this is someone to study. I find find it ironic because the currt vatican is not exactly, say, a supporter of women or womens issues. For them to name her a doctor of the church is thoroughly ironic. The last chapter is called is hildegard a a trojan horse . I think she is because shes shaking up the church today just as she did in her time. Because she does brinn the divine feminine, something that the pope is not real at ease talking abou
