Wordle Sermon

As a linguist, I am delighted whenever words are bent, broken, twisted, and otherwise delightfully tranformed -- and especially visually. I can't get enought of Visuwords, the visual thesaurus: http://www.visuwords.com/?word=happy. So, Wordle (http://www.wordle.net/)is my idea of the bees knees. I submitted my first Seabury sermon to the website, delivered on 2-22-08 -- one week after the traumatizing announcement that Seabury-Western Theological Seminary was ending its 150 year run of educating residential M.Div. students for the priesthood. We had no idea about our futures -- all of us: staff, faculty, and students. Since then, Seabury has begun to rise from its ashes like the proverbial phoenix -- solvent and healthy -- with a new mission and purpose.
