-	Let us pray.	4:04
	Grant us, oh God, your grace to see ourselves	4:07
	and the light of your holiness	4:12
	so that we may be cleansed of pride	4:14
	and all which blinds us to your truth,	4:18
	knowing that from you no secrets are hidden	4:22
	and thus so be able to confront those deceits	4:27
	and disguises by which we deceive ourselves	4:32
	and our brothers and sisters.	4:36
	Let us now make our corporate confession.	4:39
	Let us pray.	4:42
	Oh God, we come confessing that we have sinned.	4:44
	Sometimes we have tried to hide from you,	4:50
	from one another, and even from ourselves.	4:53
	There have been times when we have drawn back from the right	4:58
	because it was difficult crucifying experience.	5:02
	Too often we have involved ourselves in a meaningless round	5:07
	of activities that leads nowhere	5:11
	and do not bring satisfaction.	5:15
	We have treated persons as things and things as gods.	5:18
	We have strayed far on the fullness of life	5:24
	that you have made possible for us.	5:27
	Forgive us for our self (indistinct), our weakness,	5:31
	our living death, and give us the courage to accept the pain	5:36
	of complete commitment,	5:41
	which brings new birth and healing of our brokenness.	5:43
	In the name of Jesus who makes life possible, amen.	5:49
	Amen, we give thanks that God does forgive our sins,	6:14
	heals our brokenness, and offers to us new life.	6:20
	This is the truth, which sets us free from sin.	6:26
	Let us rejoice in this truth	6:31
	and believe that which is offered to us.	6:35

	(organ music)	9:04
	Hear the reading of God's holy word	9:29
	from the sixth chapter of Isaiah.	9:33
	"In the year that King Uzziah died,	9:37
	I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up	9:40
	and his train filled the temple.	9:46
	Above him stood the seraphim, each had six wings,	9:49
	with two he they covered his face,	9:54
	and with two he covered his feet,	9:57
	and with two he flew.	10:00
	And one called to another and said,	10:03
	'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;	10:06
	the whole earth is full of his glory.'	10:11
	And the foundations of the thresholds shook	10:14
	at the voice of him who called,	10:18
	and the house was filled with smoke.	10:20
	And I said, 'Woe is me, for I am lost;	10:25
	for I am a man of unclean lips,	10:31
	and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;	10:35
	for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.'	10:40
	Then flew one of the seraphim to me,	10:47
	having in his hand a burning coal	10:50
	which he had taken with tongs from the altar.	10:54
	And he touched my mouth and said,	10:58
	'Behold, this has touched your lips;	11:01
	your guilt is taken away, and your sin is forgiven.'	11:06
	And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,	11:13
	'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'	11:17
	Then I said, 'Here I am, send me.'"	11:23
	The congregation will rise	11:32
	for the reading of the gospel lesson.	11:34
	Hear the reading from the first chapter of the gospel	11:43
	according to John.	11:46
	"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,	11:50
	and the word was God.	11:56
	He was in the beginning with God.	11:59
	All things were made through Him,	12:02
	and without Him was not anything made that was made.	12:05
	In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.	12:10
	The light shines in the darkness,	12:16
	and the darkness has not overcome it.	12:18
	There was a man sent from God whose name was John.	12:23
	He came for testimony to bare witness to the light,	12:27
	that all might believe through him.	12:32
	He was not the light,	12:36
	but he came to bare witness to the light.	12:37
	The true light that enlightens	12:42
	every man was coming into the world.	12:43
	He was in the world, and the world was made through Him,	12:47
	yet the world knew Him not.	12:53
	He came to his own home,	12:55
	and his own people received Him not.	12:58
	But to all who received Him, who believed in His name,	13:01
	He gave power to become children of God	13:07
	who were born not of the blood, nor of the will of flesh,	13:12
	nor of the will of man, but of God.	13:18
	And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.	13:24
	Full of grace and truth, we have beheld His glory,	13:28
	glory as of the only son from the Father.	13:34
	John bore witness to Him and cried,	13:38
	'This was He of whom I said,	13:40
	'He who comes after me ranks before me,	13:44
	for he was before me.'	13:49
	And from his fullness we have all received grace upon grace.	13:52
	For the law was given through Moses;	13:58
	grace and truth comes to us through Jesus Christ.	14:01
	No one has ever seen God.	14:07
	The only son who is in the bosom of the Father,	14:10
	He has made Him known.'"	14:14
	We give thanks to God for the word we receive	14:18
	through the written scriptures, amen.	14:22
	(organ music)	14:25
	Let us with one voice affirm our faith.	15:12
	We are not alone.	15:16
	We live in God's world-	15:18
-	We believe in God	15:22
	who has created and is creating,	15:24
	who has come in the truly human Jesus	15:27
	to reconcile and make new,	15:31
	who works in us and others by the spirit.	15:34
	We trust God who calls us to be the church	15:38
	to celebrate life and its fullness,	15:43
	to love and serve others,	15:46
	to seek justice and resist evil,	15:49
	to proclaim Jesus crucified and risen,	15:52
	our judge and our hope.	15:57
	In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us.	15:59
	We are not alone.	16:07
	Thanks be to God.	16:09
-	The Lord be with you.	16:12
-	And also with you.	16:15
-	Let us pray.	16:16
	Eternal and creator God,	16:27
	maker of heaven and earth,	16:31
	all that is or ever will be, we worship you.	16:34
	We give you thanks for your wisdom	16:41
	which is beyond our understanding,	16:44
	your power which is greater than we can measure,	16:48
	your thoughts which are beyond our thoughts.	16:54
	We also give you thanks that you come to us	16:59
	in ways we can understand and comprehend.	17:03
	Give us grace to apprehend by faith,	17:08
	the power and wisdom which lie beyond our understanding,	17:13
	and in our worship to feel that which we do not know,	17:18
	and to praise even that which we do not understand,	17:25
	so that in the presence of your glory, we may be humble.	17:30
	And in the knowledge of your judgment, we may truly repent.	17:36
	And in the assurance of your mercy,	17:43
	we may rejoice and be glad.	17:46
	And so be enable to pray	17:50
	for our brothers and our sisters.	17:53
	Almighty and loving God,	17:58
	you are full of compassion and tender mercy.	18:00
	Hear us as we pray for those who suffer,	18:06
	for all who are handicapped in life,	18:12
	for the defective and the delicate,	18:16
	and all who are permanently injured and incurably ill.	18:19
	We pray for those who care for them and love them,	18:27
	and those whose seek to heal them in ways yet undiscovered.	18:31
	We pray for those whose livelihood is insecure.	18:38
	The overworked, the hungry, those who are forced to beg	18:43
	for the necessities of life.	18:49
	Those who have been oppressed, downtrodden,	18:52
	ruined and driven to despair.	18:56
	We pray for little children who are surrounded,	19:02
	(indistinct) them from your love and beauty.	19:04
	For all who are without families	19:09
	or supporting communities of love.	19:12
	For those who have to bare burdens alone.	19:17
	For those who have lost someone they love.	19:23
	For those who are in doubt and anguish of soul.	19:28
	For those who are oversensitive and afraid.	19:34
	And also for those who are insensitive	19:40
	to the hurt they inflict on others.	19:43
	And for those who misuse their power.	19:47
	Hear us now, oh Lord, as we in silence	19:53
	lift to your love and care,	19:56
	those persons for whom our heart is heavy today.	19:59
	And now, oh God,	20:16
	you know some of these prayers have been for ourselves,	20:18
	for we too are lonely, and hurting, and sick.	20:23
	Heal us and then use us to be healing instruments	20:29
	of your love in this world,	20:33
	which so misuses and misunderstands love.	20:36
	And hear us now as we pray the prayer,	20:41
	our Lord taught us to pray.	20:45
-	Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;	20:49
	thy kingdom come; thy will be done	20:56
	on earth as it is in heaven.	21:00
	Give us this day our daily bread;	21:02
	and forgive us our trespasses	21:06
	as we forgive those who trespass against us;	21:08
	and lead us not into temptation,	21:12
	but deliver us from evil,	21:15
	for thine is kingdom, and the power,	21:17
	and the glory for evermore, amen.	21:21
-	Some of you have noticed that we do not have a nursery	21:28
	during the summer month.	21:31
	One of the mothers has volunteered to organize	21:33
	other mothers who would be willing to take turns	21:37
	staying in the nursery so that you may come to worship.	21:40
	If you would be willing to be a part of a team	21:44
	that would give one Sunday every six weeks	21:47
	to work in the nursery,	21:51
	would you call the Chapel Office and let us know?	21:52
	Thank you.	21:57
	Under the leadership of Peter Lee,	21:59
	the Chapel of the Cross	22:03
	provides an important and most valuable ministry	22:05
	for the University of North Carolina	22:10
	and for the whole Chapel Hill community.	22:14
	It is my privilege to welcome him to this pulpit today.	22:17
	And we await the spoken word.	22:23
-	Thank you, Helen.	22:31
	Let us pray.	22:32
	Take my lips, oh, Lord, and speak through them.	22:34
	Take our minds and think with them.	22:39
	Take our hearts and set them on fire,	22:43
	for Jesus sake, amen.	22:48
	This great chapel is a monument to complexity.	22:54
	It's soaring arches,	23:03
	the rainbow of color changing through the day,	23:07
	as the light illuminates the stained glass,	23:11
	the intricate carving, the quiet shadows,	23:15
	Duke Chapel is rich and complicated.	23:21
	And so it should be standing	23:27
	in the heart of a national university.	23:29
	Great universities are intricate systems.	23:34
	They are symbols of the multiplicity	23:38
	and the unity of truth.	23:41
	They give birth to new disciplines.	23:46
	Compare the Duke University catalog of 1976	23:51
	with the 1950 catalog,	23:57
	and I suspect you would find course titles in 1976	24:01
	undreamed of a quarter century ago.	24:07
	Knowledge like living cells divides and subdivides,	24:12
	new specialties reflect new discoveries.	24:17
	The high tower of this chapel	24:22
	pointing towards the limitless heavens	24:24
	is a symbol of the complicated processes of a university,	24:27
	probing into the unknown, prodding the settled,	24:32
	overturning the complacent,	24:39
	standing tall for the freedom of the mind.	24:42
	None of this is news to you.	24:46
	You may be a teacher or a student	24:50
	of 16th century English poetry	24:52
	sitting near a biostatistician this morning.	24:56
	Indeed, you may be a biostatistician	25:00
	interested in 16th century English poetry.	25:03
	You know about the complexity of a university.	25:07
	You know that complexity is necessary.	25:13
	We organize knowledge into compartments,	25:17
	so our levels of comprehension may be fuller and deeper.	25:20
	Complexity and specialization are every day experiences	25:25
	to this congregation.	25:29
	We know their necessity and we know their benefits.	25:31
	Every day more than one life is saved in Duke Hospital	25:37
	by complex specialties unavailable just a few years ago.	25:41
	But in spite of these benefits,	25:48
	many of which we take for granted,	25:51
	we are witnessing in our generation	25:54
	a rebellion against complexity.	25:57
	Throughout the technological cultures of the world,	26:03
	a resistance against the complicated is spreading.	26:06
	It began like so many rebellions	26:12
	in small ways in many places, unconnected with one another,	26:15
	but it spread quickly and became a movement in the 1960s	26:21
	in protests against the war in Vietnam.	26:27
	The Vietnam experience has yet to be digested	26:32
	by our country.	26:35
	Its trauma, its influence on our history	26:37
	remain buried for the most part	26:42
	like unresolved grief at sudden death.	26:44
	And it may take generations before we fully understand	26:48
	this turning point in our national life.	26:52
	But I think it's fair to say now that the Vietnam War	26:59
	represented the great failure of complex technology.	27:03
	No effort of the industrial West was so well organized,	27:10
	so dependent on the brilliant achievements of science,	27:14
	and it failed.	27:18
	The most sophisticated military machine	27:21
	in the history of mankind led	27:23
	by best educated military leadership,	27:25
	supported by an incredible array	27:29
	of complicated logistical structures collapsed.	27:32
	It was reduced in the end,	27:38
	to a handful of Americans scurrying aboard	27:42
	one of our machines by helicopter	27:44
	and abandoning the rooftop of our embassy in Saigon.	27:48
	Well, this sermon is not about the Vietnam War,	27:53
	except to say that the war coincided with a rapid spread	27:57
	of a rebellion against complexity and the two are related.	28:01
	Do you remember the appealing and simple solution	28:08
	to the Vietnam War that one national legislator suggested?	28:12
	He was asked,	28:17
	how can we Americans extricate ourselves from the war?	28:18
	And he said, "Get on the boats and come home."	28:22
	It seemed so simple.	28:26
	In 1970, Charles Rice, the Yale law professor,	28:29
	won instant fame with his popular book,	28:34
	"The Greening of America."	28:37
	It's an adoring tribute of the youth culture of the 60s.	28:41
	He singled out the corporate state as the enemy,	28:45
	and here is his 1970 prescription for overcoming complexity.	28:49
	"The way to destroy the power of the corporate state	28:56
	is to live differently now.	29:00
	The plan, the program, the grand strategy is this;	29:03
	resist the state when you must, avoid it when you can,	29:08
	but listen to music, dance, seek out nature, laugh,	29:15
	be happy, be beautiful, help others whenever you can,	29:19
	work for them as best you can, take them in,	29:24
	the old and bitter, as well as the young,	29:28
	live fully in the each moment, love and cherish each other,	29:32
	love and cherish yourselves, stay together."	29:37
	I don't know whether to cry or to laugh,	29:45
	when I read those words now.	29:48
	They seem to speak of a dream long vanished.	29:51
	And yet the rebellion against complexity	29:56
	that inspired the dream is still with us,	29:58
	even institutionalized in some ways.	30:02
	Jimmy Carter's success is partly the channeling	30:07
	of this rebellion into political power.	30:09
	Americans have always been infatuated	30:13
	with the romance of the frontier, suspicious of cities,	30:15
	and attracted to the simplicity farm life.	30:20
	Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer from Georgia,	30:25
	appealed to this old enchantment,	30:30
	and successfully coupled it	30:33
	with a contemporary rebellion against complexity.	30:35
	He's not the only example of this rebellion	30:41
	reaching public life.	30:44
	Governor Jerry Brown appeals	30:47
	to the same spirit in California.	30:48
	It's ironic that California,	30:52
	a stunning model of American complexity and pluralism,	30:54
	is also a center of the rebellion against complexity.	30:58
	But then maybe California's role in the Republic	31:03
	is to hold the future before us so we can avoid it.	31:06
	Health food stores are present in Durham	31:12
	but they abound in California.	31:15
	Psychotherapists in Durham and Chapel Hill	31:18
	encourage people to be direct about their feelings.	31:22
	California's human potential movement	31:26
	exalts the immediacy of feelings into religious dogma.	31:29
	California is an icon, an image	31:35
	of the divisions in America's soul.	31:38
	This diverse, dynamic, zany country of ours	31:43
	combines the complexity necessary	31:47
	for our high standard of living	31:50
	with a faith in simplicity that refuses to confront	31:54
	the reality of its complexity.	31:58
	That split personality,	32:02
	that contradiction between living in complexity	32:04
	and even demanding it and believing in simplicity,	32:07
	reveals a people in search for symbols	32:12
	to hold them together.	32:15
	The bicentennial American	32:18
	is a person without a unifying myth,	32:20
	desperately searching for faith, faith in anything.	32:24
	What do we Christians offer this bicentennial American?	32:30
	What can we say simply and clearly about our complex faith?	32:35
	At the edges of American religious life,	32:41
	there are always the snake-oil salesman of simplicity	32:44
	offering their elixirs to the gullible.	32:49
	The appeal of the new fundamentalist sex,	32:54
	the exotic attraction	32:57
	of the Korean evangelist, Reverend Moon,	32:59
	and similar folk are always around	33:02
	to offer a drug of simplicity	33:05
	to people running from the complexity of their lives.	33:08
	The faith of the church is something else.	33:13
	This first Sunday after Pentecost	33:18
	is also called the Trinity Sunday,	33:19
	a festival on the calendar of the Western Church	33:22
	for 1000 years,	33:25
	and the only day of the church year	33:27
	that celebrates a doctrine rather than a story.	33:28
	For some the Trinity represents	33:33
	human tendencies towards complexity,	33:35
	contrasted with the simplicity of the gospel.	33:38
	Some theologians spend careers exploring	33:42
	the paradox of three persons, one God.	33:45
	To argue about the Trinity and philosophical categories,	33:49
	will guarantee your sleep this morning.	33:52
	The mystery of the Trinity, however,	33:57
	suggest the rich heritage of the church's faith,	33:59
	a faith both complex and simple,	34:04
	commanding the attention of the brightest minds	34:07
	and inviting the simplest person to believe.	34:10
	The tension between complexity and simplicity runs	34:16
	through the history of Judeo-Christian	34:19
	understanding of reality.	34:22
	It is that very tension that offers a base	34:24
	for mature belief in our own time.	34:27
	On the one hand, our faith has always proclaimed	34:31
	the essential mystery, the beyondness,	34:34
	the transcendence of the holy.	34:37
	Isaiah's vision in the temple points to that mystery.	34:41
	Confronted with the vision, his response is understandable.	34:45
	"Woe is me for, I am lost.	34:48
	My eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts."	34:51
	What the Christian faith says about the realities	34:56
	of life and death is that they are ultimately	34:58
	beyond our control and comprehension.	35:02
	We have a deep rooted reverence for the grandeur of life,	35:06
	a reverence that can be awesome and even fearful.	35:10
	In the biblical tradition, no person can see God and live.	35:15
	The final mysteries are beyond us.	35:20
	That humbles us.	35:24
	And yet what is beyond, wishes to be present with us.	35:27
	The same faith that proclaims the mystery	35:30
	invites us to explore the mystery.	35:33
	Unlike the current rebellion against complexity	35:38
	that runs from contradictory reality,	35:41
	faith calls us to consider all of reality,	35:44
	a mystery to be reverenced and then explored.	35:47
	Who can presume to explain the miracle of birth?	35:53
	Why there is genius is here and mediocrity there.	35:57
	Why cancer strikes here and not there.	36:00
	Why a school bus accident claims lives in one place	36:04
	and none are hurt in another.	36:08
	We stand in reverence before life that is beyond our grasp,	36:11
	and honor its complexity.	36:16
	That's one side of attention,	36:19
	one side of the paradoxical symbols	36:22
	by which we Christians approach the realities,	36:24
	the deepest realities of life.	36:27
	But the same tradition	36:31
	has another radically intimate dimension.	36:32
	"The word became flesh and dwelt among us,	36:36
	full of grace and truth.	36:39
	We have beheld his glory."	36:42
	What a scandal, how absurd this claim	36:46
	that the ultimately holy	36:49
	chooses to dwell among persons like us.	36:51
	Emmanuel means God with us.	36:55
	We have barely begun to grasp the radical implications	37:00
	of this central Christian truth.	37:04
	God in the flesh means that what Isaiah encountered as holy,	37:08
	infinitely beyond, exists in history	37:13
	and infuses history with purpose.	37:17
	What we tend to do is to domesticate that in dwelling	37:21
	and to make it religious.	37:25
	Know God so loved the world not religion	37:27
	that he gave his only son.	37:32
	It is life, flesh, history that are transfigured	37:34
	by the incarnation, the presence of the divine and ultimate	37:39
	in human and temporal affairs.	37:43
	It is God dwelling in and sharing the complexities	37:47
	of our lives, that is the profoundly simple statement	37:50
	of the Christian gospel,	37:54
	"The word became flesh full of grace and truth."	37:57
	That's what makes Christian faith extremely simple	38:03
	and very complex.	38:07
	God is with us, that simple, direct, understandable,	38:09
	but present in our complicated,	38:17
	open, diverse and fluid lives.	38:19
	The inescapable conclusion	38:23
	is the most astounding one of all.	38:25
	That in all the is complexities,	38:27
	in ways we can hardly imagine,	38:30
	the God of the universe is at work,	38:34
	healing, reconciling, bringing to fullness	38:36
	his will for love, for joy, for life.	38:41
	The tough issues must then be faced.	38:48
	Hard realities, public and personal, must be explored,	38:50
	in faith that the God of history is met only there	38:55
	in history, in reality,	38:59
	in life that is complicated and open.	39:02
	Christian faith is a simple affirmation	39:07
	of the presence of God in complexity.	39:10
	It permits no escape from life's reality.	39:14
	It tolerates no abandonment of faith	39:18
	in the midst of life's complexity.	39:21
	That is Trinitarian faith.	39:25
	Complex, because the world is complicated.	39:29
	Simple, because even a child can understand	39:34
	that God is love.	39:40
	Let us pray.	39:46
	God, the creator, the wellspring of life,	39:51
	the fount of all being,	39:56
	we praise you for the grandeur of life.	39:59
	It's mystery and richness.	40:02
	Give us Lord the courage to enter our lives with gladness,	40:05
	to acknowledge their complexity and difficulty	40:11
	as signs of the fullness of being.	40:15
	Keep us constant Lord,	40:19
	when we are tempted to flee,	40:22
	to run from the life you give us,	40:25
	and bring us Lord to the vision of your fullness,	40:28
	which we know in faith and experience in love,	40:33
	present among us in Jesus, our Lord, amen.	40:38
	(organ music)	40:47
	♪ Sing ye a joyful song unto the Lord ♪	45:08
	♪ Who hath done marvelous, marvelous things ♪	45:15
	♪ Praise the Lord all the earth ♪	45:24

	♪ And let all the trees of the forest ♪	46:33
	♪ Be joyful ♪	46:42
	(organ music)	47:11
-	Oh holy God, you give us all of our life.	50:22
	We give back to you this offering	50:28
	which represents the busy world of our life and work.	50:31
	Save us from creating a world	50:37
	where wealth accumulates and people decay.	50:40
	Accept this offering and our lives	50:46
	as willing instruments for good in your world.	50:49
	We pray in the spirit of Christ, amen.	50:54
	(organ music)	51:00
	Amen, go forth to your (indistinct).	54:34
	And the knowledge of God's love	54:39
	be present to the life	54:42
	which surround you and need you,	54:44
	knowing that you have the blessing	54:49
	and support of God who creates,	54:53
	redeems and sustains you	54:57
	this day and for evermore.	55:01
	In the name of Jesus, the Christ,	55:07
	amen and amen.	55:10
