Millennium Highlights : Jubilee

Notes: An address given at Christ Church Cathedral, Houston, 30 January 2000. "That's what Jubilee reminds us of -- that we are called to be free of our inhospitable past and are given the chance to start all over again ... because we have experienced forgiveness. It doesn't just happen every twenty-five years ... but it doesn't hurt to be reminded of it at each Jubilee. It doesn't hurt to be reminded at each Jubilee that whatever it was, God's hospitality -- God's act of drawing near to us in forgiveness -- is more powerful than the very worst that was back there."
