Fr. Glenn: The Triune One

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Had a funeral yesterday—a weekly, if not even daily, occurrence in many parishes. Sometimes there are family members who do not get along for this or that reason (sadly, often due to bickering over mere things or inheritance), but it’s always nice when there seems to be an absence of that as we had yesterday, with all the family embracing and rejoicing in the love of one another. As our society changes and relatives become scattered to the various states and even countries, we love when we can rejoice in that common bond of family which unites us.

I was thinking of that as we move from Read More

This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost, which signifies the official recognition of the Holy Spirit being given to Jesus’ followers and thus consecrating the Christian Church with the presence of a mighty wind, with tongues of fire, and witnessing a sudden ability in all present this moment to hear and understand many different languages speaking God’s Holy Word.

We also this week honor the members Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Rising Son

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

So, we’re coming to graduation season again. Hard to believe how quickly the years go by, as you parents know all too well. One day you’re taking the little tykes to pre-K, and the next they’re going off to college … spreading their wings, leaving the nest and beginning to make their way in what is often a scary world. Christian parents worry: “Will they resist the myriad temptations of the world and forget what they have been taught by Christ and the Church, or will they hold fast to faith and conscience?”  Priests are not called “Father” for nothing; we, too, worry for our young charges, Read More

Fr. Glenn: Remembering Mothers

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

I saw a rather disturbing post the other day. It was relaying a story of a man who married a single mother and was (by that mother’s own testimony) being an excellent father to her child. And yet some comments criticized the mother in “taking advantage of” her husband and that he was a “fool” for raising another man’s child. I could scarcely fathom the heartlessness of it. Any man or woman acting as a good parent to a child not his/her own should be praised, not criticized. After all, is that not the ideal when people adopt? Have we become so heartless that we cannot have natural human Read More

Sunday, May 3 was the milestone in the history of the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos. The congregation voted to invite Rev. Tina DeYoe, their minister pro tem since 2024, into fellowship with the congregation as their settled minister. Though the vote took just a few minutes, it was preceded by months of careful discernment, as the congregation considered who they were and what they wanted to become.

The discernment process revealed a church that was confident Read More

Fr. Glenn: To Protect And To Serve

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Remember the old TV back in the pre-internet days? We were the “remote control” (“Glenn: get up and turn it to channel 12. And adjust the rabbit ears.”). Ah, the old black and whites. Horizontal and vertical controls. The stations signing on in the morning and off at night with the national anthem. The radio announcement: “It’s 10 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?” The old shows like Gunsmoke, Laugh-In, Get Smart, Bonanza, Hee Haw, Star Trek (what a legacy THAT one has had!). And one of my favorites was Adam-12, which centered around two Los Angeles police officers on Read More

Fr. Glenn: Confirmed In Faith

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

It’s been quite the media spectacle for the last couple of weeks—Pope Leo and President Trump at odds about the Iran conflict, though the Pope was somewhat circumspect about referring to the conflict directly. Then, of course, the debates about what constitutes a “just war” and who determines such, with even bishops emphasizing different aspects and “sides”.

To those unfamiliar with the Church, it might seem there are fractures in its unity. But it only seems so. Debate has been the norm within the Church since the beginning, as it hammers out what is right and wrong, true and Read More
