2025-04-13 Palm Sunday: Joy, Fear and Grief—Rev Anne Baxter Smith

Update: 2025-04-13

Description

This gospel reading contains a lot of emotion—Joy, fear, anger, grief. None of it silenced. All that emotion is allowed to take up space. Religious spaces can often be unsafe places for emotions. Some churches teach that emotions are suspect; that they lead us astray and undermine our commitment to truth. Yet, Holy Week is not a journey we make with our head, but with our heart.
