This was Fr. Thomas’ very last Sunday sermon given on August 22nd at Church of the Redeemer. In this short sermon, one can get a snapshot of his passion, tenderness, vulnerability, and conviction for the life of the church. On the morning of August 23rd, 2021 Fr. Thomas and his child Charlie were tragically lost in a car accident. We will never be able to return to a time before this tragedy took place. But we can hear his words today and mourn the loss of our friend, priest, and “wizard” and be reminded of his impact on our collective lives.
P.S. Fr. Thomas also uses his calling card phrase “This Here Church” in this episode.
