Sermon Series
"We are all the woman at the well"
The Rev. Richard E. Greenleaf
In Sunday’s sermon, Richard invited us to consider our own first reactions to the story of Jesus encountering the Samaritan woman at the well. He then showed us how Jesus crossed the traditional boundaries of gender, ethnicity, and religious identity to engage with the Samaritan woman as a person and to affirm that God seeks those who seek to know and worship him in spirit and in truth. The Episcopal Church remembers the Samaritan woman in its church calendar on February 26th, noting that the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches venerate her as a saint, giving her the name Photini, “the luminous one.”
Richard emphasized that in a sense we are all the woman at the well, and our mission is to help unveil the luminous light of God in each and every one of us.
