A Walk In Beauty
Tuesday August 06, 2024
The Rev. Winnie Varghese, rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta, draws her sermon “Walk in Beauty” from the story of Elijah’s wilderness journey to Mount Horeb found in I Kings 19.4-18. Starving and exhausted, he asks to die, but is twice awakened from sleep to hot bread and water. “So let us watch for bread on hot stones. Seek out some pita or fry bread or a tortilla if you can.
