Ryan Turnbull on Anglican Poetics and Worship
Studying Anglican poetics helped Anglicans in Manitoba, Canada, enter more deeply into worship and liturgical life. It also helped them connect with non-Anglicans as they explored shared human experiences through metaphor, imagination, and writing poems.
Los salmos nos acompañan en el diario vivir y nos capacitan para enfrentar todo tipo de situación y desafío
Los salmos siempre han ocupado un lugar especial en la vida cristiana. Como predicadores, esta serie de sermones para todo el año no solo nos permite releer salmos conocidos y apreciados, sino también acercarnos a otros que conocemos poco, pero que tienen mucho para enseñarnos y desafiarnos. Sus lecciones para la vida se examinan en el contexto de quienes habitamos el mundo de habla hispana con sus singulares desafíos. La sabiduría de los salmos nos enriquece durante todo el año litúrgico cristiano.

Tiempo ordinario, mes de julio: En las crisis de la vida, la esperanza nos renueva
Los salmos de este mes, a la luz de la resurrección de Jesús y del triunfo de la vida sobre los poderes de la muerte, nos recuerdan realidades que no podemos soslayar. Los sufrimientos diarios pueden sobrellevarse a partir de la memoria de lo que Dios ha hecho por nosotros, como pueblo y como individuos (Salmo 77). En las grandes crisis nacionales, el Señor está con su pueblo como refugio seguro (Salmo 48). Si es cierto que los jueces humanos se venden al mejor postor, y la justicia parece ausente de nuestros pueblos, tenemos la esperanza de que Dios juzgará a quienes juzgan en la tierra (Salmo 82). Y cuando desesperamos ante la soberbia y la prepotencia de quienes gobiernan el mundo, la palabra profética nos da una firme esperanza de que tales personas serán desarraigadas de la tierra (Salmo 52). Así, cultivamos la esperanza recordando que la vida tiene la última palabra. Jesús, el Mesías, ha vencido, y con él somos más que vencedores.
