Loading...This sermon is a team effort by my brother The Rev. N. Luke Back who serves as Rector of Church of the Holy Spirit in Lake Forest, IL and our father, The Very Rev. George H. Back the retired Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral in Oklahoma City. It ranks for me as one of the most fun sermons to preach.
My brother likes to tell this story about my nephews: When my twin sons turned eleven, friends hosted a wonderful birthday party and a whole host of people gathered around the table for dessert. Each birthday cake was ablaze with eleven lighted candles and put right in front of the boys’ faces.
