Volume I · Season after Pentecost 2026
Questions gathered around prayer, promise, and the cross.
Volume I begins with the gift of grace and follows its implications into worship, formation, history, and the life of the world. It continues through the Last Sunday after Pentecost, with a new essay published each week and an occasional additional essay when the calendar or subject invites one.

The weekly practice
A new essay each Sunday.
Each week, Cross & Collect takes up one theological question and follows it with care. The essays do not try to settle every question. They offer one reader's engagement and invite response, correction, prayer, and further reading.
