St. Mark's New Canaan

04.17.25 “Shock and Awe” (Maundy Thursday) - The Reverend John Kennedy

St. Mark's New Canaan

Maundy Thursday. 

What could Saint Peter and Friedrich Nietzsche possibly have in common? In this powerful and thought-provoking Maundy Thursday sermon, The Rev. John Kennedy explores the deep scandal and radical love at the heart of Jesus’ shocking act of foot washing—and why it offended both Peter and Nietzsche in their own ways. With insight, wit, and piercing clarity, this message invites us to grapple with the meaning of humility, power, and the way of Christ in a world driven by dominance.
