“In the race of life, we are all running together as one team in pursuit of one crown of victory. When we think about the communion of saints, when we think about the exemplars of Christian life, we often focus on the top one or two finishers in the field. But the shape of the race, our success or failure as a team, is determined as much by the slower runners in the middle and the back of the pack as it is by Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King kicking down the home straight for the win.“ Greg preaches on the twentieth Sunday after Pentecost.
