Meditating on Manners - Sermon by Rev. Roberta Howey
Update: 2025-09-03
Description
In Meditating on Manners, Rev. Roberta Howey takes a playful look at Jesus’ surprisingly sassy lesson on etiquette. While manners may seem trivial, they shape how we communicate respect, status, and belonging. In Jesus’ time, seating arrangements at a banquet reinforced rigid hierarchies—but he flips the script, urging humility and hospitality toward the marginalized. Rev. Howey reminds us that Christians need not throw out the “rulebook” entirely, but we are called to rewrite it: to treat every person with dignity, to mean what we say, and to embody God’s love in both word and action.
