07.13.25 "Baptized Into the Heart of Christ: Becoming the Good Samaritan" - The Reverend John Kennedy

St. Mark's New Canaan

The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost. 

In a world that often draws lines between "us" and "them," what does it mean to become the Good Samaritan? Fr. John Kennedy explores Jesus’ radical call to love across boundaries—racial, political, religious—and what it means to be baptized into the heart of Christ. Whether you’ve heard the parable of the Good Samaritan a dozen times or are hearing it with fresh ears, this sermon will challenge and inspire you to live a bigger, bolder life—one not small and safe, but wide open with love.
