So, I've been preaching a few sermons at St. Louis Mennonite Fellowship and thought I'd get them in somewhat post-worthy form. First up is the most recent (and shortest!) sermon, “‘More Than a Slave.’” It's a gloss on Paul’s Letter to Philemon in light of 1619, when the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia. Shout-out here to the New York Times’s amazing series on 1619; check it out if you haven’t already. Shout-out, as well, to my high school Latin teacher, Magister Richard Popeck, for having shown us a clip from Quo Vadis back in the day.
