Sorting Ourselves Against One Another

March 7, 2018 ~ pastorkoch ~ 3 Comments

By Graham Glover - I spend a lot of time on Capitol Hill these days. Sometimes I interact with Members of Congress, other times their Staffers. A lot of time I just watch. But no matter who I’m talking to or what I’m observing, the one thing that is blatantly obvious, even to the political … Continue reading Sorting Ourselves Against One Another

Embracing Pluralism

February 21, 2018February 20, 2018 ~ pastorkoch ~ 4 Comments

By Graham Glover - Most of you who will read this probably don’t consider yourself a pluralist. Although we’ve never surveyed the readers of the Jagged Word, I’m pretty sure most of you have a pretty rigid way of viewing things, from politics to theology and everything in between. I’m no different. There isn’t much … Continue reading Embracing Pluralism

Defend the Nation or the Republic?

February 14, 2018 ~ pastorkoch ~ 2 Comments

By Graham Glover - “I…do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…” These words are part of the oath that every person takes upon entering or being promoted in the United States military. These are serious words that speak to the importance … Continue reading Defend the Nation or the Republic?

Protestantism’s Ironic Rejection of Grace

January 31, 2018 ~ pastorkoch ~ 4 Comments

By Graham Glover - Wait, what? Protestants reject grace? Huh? Isn’t it the other way around? Aren’t Protestants all about grace? The popular narrative says that Protestantism was born to combat the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches who teach that we are forgiven and made right with God not by grace … Continue reading Protestantism’s Ironic Rejection of Grace

The Joy of Living in “The Swamp”

January 24, 2018January 23, 2018 ~ pastorkoch ~ 7 Comments

By Graham Glover - Worthless. Broken. Corrupt. These are just a few of the words I’ve heard over the last few days to describe the city where I live. Not that it’s entirely different at other times, but people don’t feel too great about the recent shenanigans going on in Washington, D.C. When the clock … Continue reading The Joy of Living in “The Swamp”

What About Mary?

January 3, 2018January 2, 2018 ~ pastorkoch ~ 2 Comments

By Graham Glover - Today is the 10th day of Christmas, and like many of you, I have spent much of the past month meditating on the Nativity and Second Advent of Christ. The Church’s lectionary readings, hymnody, and propers are rich with references to the life of our Lord during this season, all preparing … Continue reading What About Mary?

I’m Still Fat

November 22, 2017 ~ pastorkoch ~ 7 Comments

By Graham Glover - A few years ago, I wrote an article entitled, “I’m Fat.” Unfortunately, I still am. Fat, that is. And with an epic day of gluttony only 24 hours away, I don’t think my fatness is going to change anytime soon. To be clear, this isn’t something I proud of or something … Continue reading I’m Still Fat
