Take Us On a Walk: a Meditation on the Trinity

Sunday, June 7, 2020, was Trinity Sunday in the church calendar.

In the midst of social distancing, my church, The Open Door in Pittsburgh, has been finding creative ways of “doing church” on Sunday mornings. One of the things we do is record a sermon to listen to, then meet in small groups on Sunday morning to discuss the passage.

This past week, it was my turn to share a sermon with my church, and I recorded an embodied meditative sermon. For me, one of the takeaways of being a Christian who practices yoga is the integration of my body with my worship and prayer and understanding of God.

As the storms of our world rage on, I invite you to take half an hour to go outside with God. Go for a walk or find a spot outside to sit and soak in the love of God. Click the download link to copy this to your phone so we can walk together. Peace, Renee.

You’ll want to consider this 15th century Russian icon of the Trinity, which has also been revisited in many beautiful renditions, like the picture at the top of this post.
