A few years ago (three, to be precise), presumably in honor of Trinity Sunday, one of our parishioners (thank you, John Day) sent me a clip from the film “Nuns on the Run” which “explains” the Holy Trinity.

Acts 16:16-34; John 17:20-26

The reading from the sixteenth chapter of Acts speaks to us of what it means to be held captive. A cursory glance at the lesson suggests that this is a story about how Paul and his companion Silas found themselves imprisoned by the Romans for disturbing the peace. However, a longer look at the text urges us to seek a deeper meaning as to what it means to be held prisoner. By the end of the thirty-fourth verse, we are led to consider just who it is who is being held captive…and by whom.
