  • "First Thoughts on Epistle Passages in the Lectionary: Passion and Palm Sunday," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
    • "He chose to align himself with the divine will and that meant willingness to go the whole way in solidarity with humjan beings. Here we have to read between the lines about the purpose of such an act."

    • "We live in a society dominated by rights-activism, permeated with the philosophy of "me first," and molded by the corporate ideals of efficiency and success. The Church must be called to remember that demanding one's rights and privileges may be popular, even necessary in some cases, but if it does so at the expense of Christian unity and love, it is not Christian!"

  • "First Thoughts on Year A Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Pentecost 20, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
    • "Paul reads his own life constantly in the light of the story of Jesus (1:20-26). He wants them to read theirs similarly. The great treasure of this passage is that it challenges us to do the same. It is, however, easily subverted into an opposite attitude, a paradigm for success and power."
