Commentary, Isaiah 65:17-25, 24th Sunday After Pentecost, (Year C),
Dennis Bratcher, Christian Resource Institute.
| "We can "maintain
justice, and do what is right" precisely because "my salvation
will come, and my deliverance be revealed." Hope, and faith, that
God will not leave the world the way it is frees us to be his people,
frees us to light candles in the present darkness of sin, knowing that
finally the darkness will be vanquished!" |

| "We are coming to the end of the
Christian year and our attention is directed to the fulfilment of God’s
purpose for all creation. It is as if we are taken back to the beginning
of things again, as if there is in the end a return to the start. That is
true in more ways than one in our reading for this week." |

Isaiah 65:17-25, Wesley White. "A place of
conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
| "The
need for Isaiah's imagery is as real as it is seemingly so far off. No
amount of betrayal will interrupt the promise. No amount of expectation
will prepare us for a breakthrough of vision into reality - it still
comes as a surprise, a vision resurrected is transformative." |

| Reflection
on Isaiah 65:17-25 by Helen Hanten. Environmental &
earth-centered reflections from the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota Environmental
Stewardship Commission.
| "Our pilgrimages may be
to shrines already built, locations where some event occurred of wide
impact such as a plane crash or a ship sinking, or a pilgrimage can be
to a place in our personal history -- the birthplace or home or grave of
an ancestor or relative or someone we loved." |

"Mission and Unity," Jan vanButselaar,
The Ecumenical Review,
2000.
| "...these theologians were often asking
the same questions with regard to the faith and the order of the church as
their colleagues in CWME asked about the mission of the church: questions
about justice, liberation, (economic) ethics. Did this similarity not show
how closely mission and unity were related for the church, and should they
therefore not be studied together? Should there not be a joint world
conference on mission and unity?" |
