The Ragged Figure Who Moves from Tree to Tree
Doug Rubio, Pulpit Guest
In Flannery O’Connor’s acclaimed first novel, Wise Blood, the main character struggles to escape from Christianity. Yet despite his often ludicrous efforts, his mind and soul are still haunted by a persistent image of Jesus, “a ragged figure who moves from tree to tree” motioning to him—a figure from whom he ultimately cannot escape. In this sermon Doug Rubio, an avowed atheist, will explore his own nagging thoughts that maybe God really does exist.
